Integra Biosciences has installed 50 Vacusafe comfort units to provide easy, reliable and safe aspiration of biological samples at the Centre for Biomedicine and Medical Technology Mannheim (CBTM).
CBTM research groups focus on vascular biology, molecular oncology, neurobiology and medical technology.
The Vacusafe comfort unit is said to make aspiration of biological liquids safe, user friendly and flexible.
The compact vacuum system incorporates a low-noise pump, a shatterproof collection bottle and a hand operator.
Vacusafe is suitable for a range of life-science applications where gentle and controlled removal of supernatants is required.
Such applications include the removal of supernatant liquids from cell cultures, DNA extractions, centrifuged magnetic beads, immunoprecipitated proteins and Elisa reactions.
