Use Cases & Applications
1. Liquid Waste Disposal in Cell Culture & Molecular Biology Labs
Primary Use:
- Aspiration of cell culture media, removing spent media from flasks, plates, and dishes.
- Safe disposal of biological liquid waste from RNA/DNA extractions and protein purification workflows.
Practical Example:
A cell culture lab using 96-well plates requires precise aspiration of spent media before adding fresh growth medium. The VWR Vacuum Aspiration System ensures uniform aspiration, preventing cross-contamination and ensuring cell viability.
2. Clinical & Diagnostic Laboratories for Blood Sample Processing
Primary Use:
- Safe aspiration and removal of biological fluids, including blood, plasma, and urine samples.
- Supports diagnostic tests that require liquid waste removal after centrifugation or chemical reactions.
Practical Example:
A hospital diagnostic lab analyzing blood samples for coagulation testing uses the VWR Vacuum Aspiration System to remove excess plasma from test tubes, ensuring precise sample handling and contamination control.
3. Microbiology & Environmental Testing
Primary Use:
- Disposal of liquid cultures and bacterial suspensions after microbiological testing.
- Used for liquid filtration in environmental analysis and food safety labs.
Practical Example:
A microbiology lab testing water samples for bacterial contamination uses the VWR system to aspirate bacterial suspensions from Petri dishes after culture analysis, preventing cross-contamination and ensuring safe disposal.
4. Chemical & Pharmaceutical Research
Primary Use:
- Vacuum filtration of solutions and reaction mixtures in organic synthesis.
- Removal of excess solvents and chemical waste during drug formulation studies.
Practical Example:
A pharmaceutical R&D lab working on drug formulation stability testing uses the VWR Vacuum Aspiration System to remove excess solvents from reaction mixtures, ensuring efficient solvent recovery and safe chemical disposal.
