Integra has launched single-use waste collection bottles for its Vacusip benchtop aspiration system.
The disposable bottles allow Vacusip users to go one step further in terms of operational safety and reducing the cost of handling/disposing of biohazardous substances.
Made of heavy duty polypropylene, the single-use collection bottle is shatterproof and vacuum resistant, eliminating risks of breakage and contamination by the biological agents during manipulation.
Compact design enables manipulation, aspiration and liquid waste collection steps with a Vacusip to be carried out inside a biosafety cabinet, reducing risks of human and environmental contamination by manipulated biohazard agents.
A wide range of adapters are available for easy aspiration of liquid from almost any labware including small centrifuges tubes, microplates or flasks.
When full, the collection bottle is simply disconnected from the Vacusip system and securely sealed with the supplied lid.
After decontamination of the bottle surface, the liquid waste can be simply and safely transferred to a licensed company for correct destruction of the biohazardous substances.
