VACUSIP: Compact Aspiration System for Small-Volume Liquid Waste in the Laboratory
The VACUSIP is a benchtop aspiration system developed by Integra to meet the specific needs of laboratories handling small volumes of liquid waste. Its compact design and user-friendly operation make it the tool of choice for professionals seeking to enhance efficiency while ensuring safe handling procedures.
Unlike homemade or improvised setups, which are often complex and impractical, the VACUSIP comes ready to use—no assembly required and no need for connection to an external vacuum source. Featuring a quiet, integrated pump that automatically switches off once the vacuum is established, the VACUSIP reduces noise disturbances while optimizing energy consumption.
Fully mobile thanks to its rechargeable battery, the device offers up to five days of autonomy based on one hour of use per day. This mobility is especially valuable for work inside safety cabinets, where minimizing cables is essential. The VACUSIP fits easily onto any benchtop and can be relocated as needed.
Designed to ensure safe working conditions, the system is equipped with a hydrophobic filter that protects the pump from splashes and aerosols, significantly reducing the risk of contamination. All liquid-contact components are autoclavable, facilitating streamlined decontamination procedures.
The VACUSIP is ideally suited for aspirating supernatants after centrifugation, removing wash solutions from microtiter plates, aspirating culture media, staining solutions, or residual reagents. Thanks to its ergonomic silicone handpiece with manual flow control and a wide range of available adapters, it is compatible with virtually any vessel and application.
Compact, autonomous, and practical, the VACUSIP is the ideal solution for clean, fast, and reliable liquid waste management in laboratory environments.
