Vacuum system designed to work with critical and hazardous substances incorporates all the essential elements for safe and productive aspiration of liquid samples
Integra Biosciences has announced the new Vacusafe Comfort, a compact next generation vacuum system designed to work with critical and hazardous substances.
The Vacusafe Comfort incorporates all the essential elements for safe and productive aspiration of liquid samples.
Coupled with the ergonomically profiled Vacuboy hand operator and a range of adapters the system provides the flexibility to aspirate supernatent liquids from cell culture vessels, centrifuge tubes, 24- and 96-well plates and sample vials.
The latest ultra-low noise pump technology provides infinitely variable vacuum control enabling gentle aspiration from the microlitre range right up to rapid emptying of relatively large containers.
Simply switch on, set the vacuum, and Vacusafe comfort 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 four litre polypropylene container that is fitted with an overflow filter that stops liquids from getting into the pump.
All parts of the Vacusafe Comfort and Vacuboy hand operator that may come in contact with waste liquid may be repeatably sterilised at 121C for 20 minutes, guaranteeing maximum safety even with hazardous and critical liquids.
A filter on the back of each Vacusafe comfort ensures that no aspirated material including aerosols containing bacteria or viruses can find their way into the pump housing or out into the surrounding laboratory environment.
