Advanced Vacuum Aspiration for Safe and Efficient Liquid Handling
The Integra VACUSAFE Vacuum Aspiration System is a compact, self-contained liquid aspiration unit designed for safe, contamination-free handling of biological and chemical liquids in laboratory settings. It is ideal for removing, aspirating, and filtering waste liquids from laboratory containers while ensuring maximum safety, convenience, and operational efficiency.
This system integrates all essential vacuum functions into a single, user-friendly unit, making it an efficient alternative to traditional vacuum systems that rely on external water supplies or complex tubing setups.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ Always Ready for Use
- Simple one-button operation for instant aspiration.
- Integrated pump ensures consistent vacuum performance without reliance on external vacuum sources.
✅ Prevents Laboratory Contamination
- Two hydrophobic filters (internal & external) prevent liquid and aerosol contamination, protecting both the device and the lab environment.
- Automatic overflow protection prevents liquid spills and ensures safe waste disposal.
✅ Ultra-Quiet & Efficient Operation
- Latest pump technology delivers ultra-quiet performance, minimizing noise disturbance in the lab.
- Automatic pump shutoff when the preset vacuum level is reached, reducing energy consumption and wear on components.
✅ Flexible & User-Friendly Design
- Rotary vacuum control knob (300–600 mbar) for precise aspiration of various liquids.
- Easily transportable, independent of water supply and drainage.
- Dual-user capability – allows connection of two VACUBOY hand operators (Y-connector required).
✅ Versatile Applications
- Controlled aspiration of liquids from cuvettes, test tubes, microplates, Petri dishes, and roller bottles.
- Safe disposal of biological and chemical waste liquids.
- Filtration of media and solutions using external filter systems.
✅ High Chemical Resistance & Autoclavable Components
- All liquid-contacting parts, including bottle, lid, tubing, connectors, and hand operator, are fully autoclavable.
- Chemically resistant PVDF quick couplings ensure secure and leak-free connections.
