VACUSAFE Aspiration System is a compact, all-in-one laboratory vacuum pump, providing a safe and efficient way to collect and contain biological liquid waste. For maximum safety, VACUSAFE is equipped with vacuum source protection, a shatterproof bottle and a secure stand that holds the bottle in place.
Safety first
The VACUSAFE product range offers different levels of safety depending on the requirements of specific applications.
For total containment of hazardous liquids, VACUSAFE provides following safety features:
- Integrated pump with vacuum control,
- Self-closing connectors for avoiding escape of drops or aerosols from disconnected bottle and tubing,
- Level sensor detecting when the bottle is full.
VACUSAFE enables Biosafety level 1, 2 and 3 labs to comply with the stringent user safety guidelines for handling contaminated solutions while maximising productivity and minimising noise and operational inconveniences.
User-friendly
A simple routine task like the aspiration of liquids requires user-friendly equipment that is easy to install and convenient to operate. Several aspects make VACUSAFE a convenient tool for productive aspiration:
- All-in-one system includes all necessary components,
- Straightforward operation – simply switch on, set the desired vacuum and start working,
- Integrated pump/valve is switched off automatically when the vacuum is established in the bottle,
- Noise of the integrated pump is well below 65 dB(A),
- Quick tubing connectors speed up bottle removal.
Versatile tools for all liquid aspiration tasks
An important component contributing to the versatility of the VACUSAFE system is the vacuum aspiration tool VACUBOY because it can be fitted with different adapters for removal of liquids from virtually every laboratory vessel.
The application range is further expanded by the possibility to adjust the vacuum level depending on the needs: from a gentle removal of supernatants from a centrifuge tube or 96-well plate to fast emptying of a large culture flask.
Features common to all models:
- Shatterproof autoclavable waste collection bottle and handle,
- Hydrophobic filter for protection against overflow of liquid and escape of aerosols,
- autoclavability of the system components that contact liquid,
- Vacuum control: noise reduction, increased pump's lifetime, minimised evaporation of volatile solvents.
