 VACUSAFE: Safe and Efficient Liquid Aspiration System for Laboratories 

The VACUSAFE by Integra represents a sophisticated solution for liquid aspiration in biological laboratories, combining essential components into a single, compact system. Designed for safety and efficiency, VACUSAFE integrates a vacuum pump, a collection bottle, overflow protection, and a filter into one streamlined unit. This all-in-one system is engineered to handle biohazardous liquids effectively, making it ideal for use in Biosafety Level 1, 2, and 3 laboratories where rigorous safety and contamination controls are paramount.

One of the standout features of VACUSAFE is its adjustable vacuum range, which spans from -300 to -600 mbar. This flexibility allows users to tailor the vacuum strength to suit different types of laboratory tasks. Whether you need gentle aspiration for delicate centrifuge tubes or fast emptying of large culture flasks, VACUSAFE accommodates various needs with ease. The system’s pump offers a robust flow rate of 8 l/min, ensuring efficient suction while maintaining a low noise emission of less than 50 dB(A). This quiet operation is particularly advantageous in busy lab environments where minimizing noise can enhance productivity and comfort.

Safety is a key priority with VACUSAFE. The integrated vacuum control system features self-closing connectors designed to prevent the escape of drops or aerosols, thus safeguarding the user and the environment. An innovative level sensor alerts users when the collection bottle is full, preventing overflows and potential spills. Users have the option to select between a 0.45 µm or 0.2 µm hydrophobic filter, depending on their specific safety and filtration needs.

VACUSAFE enhances lab efficiency by simplifying the liquid aspiration process. Its user-friendly design includes quick tubing connectors for rapid bottle removal and an automatic pump shutdown feature that activates once the desired vacuum is achieved in the bottle. This streamlined functionality not only reduces manual effort but also ensures consistent and reliable performance.

In contrast to traditional "do-it-yourself" vacuum systems that often involve cumbersome setups with water-jet pumps and vacuum flasks, VACUSAFE offers a cleaner, more efficient alternative. Self-made systems can be messy, involve the risk of broken pipettes, and often suffer from contamination issues. VACUSAFE addresses these concerns with its secure, shatterproof collection bottle and reliable vacuum source protection, providing a safer and more user-friendly solution.

The addition of the VACUBOY aspiration tool, which comes with various adapters, extends the versatility of the VACUSAFE system. This tool allows for the removal of liquids from virtually any laboratory vessel, making VACUSAFE a flexible choice for a wide range of applications.

In summary, the VACUSAFE by Integra is a comprehensive liquid aspiration system that combines advanced safety features with ease of use. Its compact design, efficient performance, and focus on user protection make it an invaluable tool for modern laboratories requiring reliable and safe handling of biological liquid waste.
