Integra Biosciences of Switzerland has extended its Vacusafe aspiration system with a model for laboratories wishing to use their own vacuum supply. The new design, without integrated vacuum pump, is said to be affordable for most laboratories.
The compact Vacusafe makes aspiration of hazardous liquids safe, user-friendly and flexible, the company says. It has several safety features such as a liquid level sensor and two hydrophobic filters that block potentially dangerous aerosols.
A new handle makes the carrying and emptying of the Vacusafe waste bottle easier and a wide range of adapters allows the removal of liquids from most containers.
For laboratories looking for the flexibility of an all-in-one vacuum aspiration system the traditional Vacusafe includes a low-noise pump, shatterproof collection bottle and a versatile hand operator. It is simple to operate.
The Vacuboy hand operator is for aspirating liquids from any laboratory container at the touch of a button and in a controlled way. It includes a finger-activated valve that precisely regulates vacuum flow and includes a variety of aspiration adapters to suit most applications.
