Product story

Convert any vacuum source into a user-friendly aspiration system

Successful removal of supernatants from lab containers by means of a vacuum aspiration system depends on applying the correct level of vacuum and on using an aspirator tip that matches the size and form of the container from which liquid is aspirated.

In order to convert any vacuum source into a user-friendly aspiration system, INTEGRA has come up with VACUBOY, a versatile aspiration tool for aspirating liquids from virtually every laboratory vessel.

How it Works

How it works

VACUBOY is a versatile aspiration tool that converts any vacuum source into a user-friendly aspiration system for aspirating liquids from virtually any laboratory container – at the touch of a button and in a controlled way.

The hand piece, the core element of VACUBOY, is simply connected to any available vacuum source using silicone tubing and fitted with one of the different aspiration adapters.

The perfect match is obtained when VACUBOY is connected to a VACUSAFE aspiration system.

  • Safe

    nti-drip system prevents liquid waste leakage from the tip or pipette

    The anti-drip system prevents liquid waste leakage from the tip or pipette, reducing contamination risks when working with biohazardous liquids.

    Autoclavable and sterilizable, VACUBOY allows a maximal safety in the laboratory when working with hazardous biological liquid waste.

  • Sustainability through longevity and plastic reduction
