Video demonstrates lab vacuum system
For those tired of inflexible and noisy vacuum systems Integra Biosciences has produced a video demonstrating how its Vacusafe Comfort system makes the aspiration of liquids safe, easy and efficient
The latest ultra-low noise pump technology enables the system to provide infinitely variable vacuum control enabling gentle aspiration from the microlitre range right up to rapid emptying of relatively large containers.
For busy laboratories the Vacusafe Comfort now offers the multi-user possibility of connecting two units to one waste bottle.
The Vacusafe Comfort incorporates all the essential elements for safe and productive disposal of liquid waste.
Coupled with the ergonomically profiled Vacuboy hand operator and a range of adapters the system provides the flexibility to aspirate supernatant liquids from cell culture vessels, centrifuge tubes, 24- and 96-well plates and sample vials.
Furthermore it fits any existing vacuum source in a laboratory, offering a powerful tool to handle liquid aspiration, waste disposal and filtration applications.
To operate the Vacusafe Comfort, simply switch on, set the vacuum, and the system is operational.
As soon as the target vacuum has been reached, the pump switches off automatically.
If the vacuum collapses in use, the pump switches back on automatically.
Waste is collected in a shatterproof 3 litre glass or 4 litre polypropylene container that is fitted with an overflow filter and optionally a level sensor to prevent liquids from getting into the pump.
All parts of the new Vacusafe Comfort and Vacuboy hand operator set that may come in contact with waste liquid may be repeatably sterilised, guaranteeing maximum safety even with hazardous and critical liquids. Request a free brochure from Integra Biosciences ...
