Portable System for Aspiration and Disposal of Biological Waste
15 Aug 2012
The VACUSIP from INTEGRA provides an ideal benchtop solution for the safe aspiration and disposal of small volumes of liquid waste in clinical, molecular biology, biochemistry and microbiology labs.
With integrated vacuum pump and long-life battery the VACUSIP from INTEGRA is completely portable, enabling aspiration and waste disposal where and when you need it. To optimize battery run-time, the pump automatically switches on and off according to the vacuum needed for an aspiration task. With its space saving footprint, silent operation and optimal organization, the VACUSIP is a true asset to any lab performing liquid aspiration tasks.
The unique VACUSIP hand operator enables precise fine regulation of liquid aspiration flow. A wide range of adapters are available for the hand operator enabling the VACUSIP to handle almost any liquid waste disposal task. A hydrophobic filter protects the unit from contamination and liquid entry. All components coming in contact with liquids can be autoclaved. Exchanging a full collection bottle is both safe and easy, making VACUSIP the system of choice for the convenient removal and disposal of liquid waste.

VACUSIP - Benchtop Aspiration System
INTEGRA BiosciencesVACUSIP – Liquid waste gone in a sip In the laboratory small volumes of liquid need be disposed of on a daily basis. This includes the removal of excess liquids from reaction tubes, aspiration of supernatant after centrifugation steps, removal of washing solutions from microplates and much more. Until today, this is often accomplished by self-made systems. VACUSIP provides an out-of-the-box solution for the wide array of liquid waste disposal tasks carried out at the laboratory bench. It features a reliable low noise pump, enabling it to operate independently from an external vacuum source. The battery version of VACUSIP contains a rechargeable battery for even more flexibility. A unique hand operator allows a fine regulation of the aspiration flow and accepts a variety of adapters. The 0.5 l glass bottle is quickly exchanged and all components coming in contact with liquids can be autoclaved. If the inactivation of the liquid waste is carried out externally, a disposable bottle may be used. Features and benefits: • Integrated, silent pump makes the VACUSIP location-independent. • The battery version eliminates cable mess in a laminar flow hood and increases mobility. • Automated pump shut-off optimizes battery run-time and pump life. • Quick exchange of waste bottle due to screw cap sealing. • Hydrophobic filter prevents aerosols and liquid from entering the system. • Very compact and space saving, HxWxD: 345x120x162 mm only. • No additional equipment necessary and maintenance free
