Aspiration Systems

Scientist using VACUBOY vacuum hand operator and VACUSAFE vacuum system to aspirate red liquid from T-Flask

Comparing INTEGRAs Vacuum Aspiration Systems

Life Science laboratories are daily confronted with biological liquid waste generation. Common applications include the removal of media from cell cultures, of supernatants after centrifugation and of wash solutions from immuno-assay well-plates. Vacuum systems are then widely used for liquid aspiration, collection and subsequent disposal.

What instrument is right for me?

  Ideal for labs, looking for a safe and user-friendly way to aspirate, collect and contain liquid waste. The VACUSAFE redcuest tedious handling or the risk of contamination. Labs who look for much safer and user-friendly alternative to aspirate small volumes of liquid waste. It is useful in all areas, where only minimal space is avaialbe and a compact, portable device required.
