VACUBOY: The Versatile Aspiration Tool for All Your Laboratory Needs
The VACUBOY from INTEGRA is a revolutionary vacuum aspiration tool designed to meet the needs of a wide variety of laboratories. Whether you work in cell biology, microbiology, biochemistry, or any other scientific field requiring liquid aspiration, the VACUBOY offers a simple and versatile solution for liquid handling. With just a few steps, this intelligent device enables the aspiration of liquids from virtually all types of laboratory containers, including tubes, flasks, bottles, T-flasks, or multi-well plates.
The VACUBOY stands out for its ability to convert any vacuum source into a precise aspiration system. Thanks to its numerous interchangeable adapters and touch-sensitive control button, the VACUBOY allows smooth and controlled regulation of the aspiration power, ensuring precise and safe handling of liquids. This device is particularly useful for supernatant removal, changing culture media, or eliminating liquid waste in a laboratory environment.
The core of the VACUBOY is the handheld operator, which connects to a vacuum source via silicone tubing. This simple connection transforms a conventional vacuum into a sophisticated system capable of aspirating liquids efficiently, quickly, and safely. With its ergonomic design and touch-sensitive control button, the VACUBOY provides total control over the aspiration process, preventing overflow or rapid aspiration that could damage delicate samples.
The handheld operator is lightweight and designed to offer optimal comfort during repetitive tasks or long aspiration sessions, making it an ideal tool for laboratories that require frequent liquid handling. Additionally, the VACUBOY is equipped with an integrated anti-drip system, preventing liquid from leaking from the tip or pipette. This feature is essential to reduce the risk of cross-contamination, especially when handling hazardous biological liquids or biohazards.
One of the most remarkable features of the VACUBOY is its set of interchangeable adapters, which allow it to adapt to virtually any type of laboratory container. Whether you work with Pasteur pipettes, serological pipettes, disposable pipette tips, or stainless steel needles, the VACUBOY has the right adapter. For users working with multi-well plates, multi-channel adapters are available, allowing the plates to be emptied quickly and efficiently, speeding up processes in high-throughput laboratories.
Each adapter is designed to ensure perfect compatibility with the liquid reservoir being used, minimizing waste and ensuring precise aspiration, regardless of the type of container. This makes the VACUBOY a truly versatile tool, capable of handling a wide range of laboratory applications, from changing cell culture media to aspirating supernatants after centrifugation.
To ensure user safety, the VACUBOY is designed to be autoclavable, meaning that the handheld operator and its adapters can be easily sterilized between uses. This reduces the risk of cross-contamination between samples and ensures a safer working environment for laboratory personnel.
Moreover, the anti-drip system prevents accidental liquid leaks when not in use, significantly reducing the risk of spreading contaminants or biohazards. These features make the VACUBOY particularly suitable for laboratories dealing with hazardous or infectious samples, where regular sterilization and user safety are top priorities.
The ergonomic design of the VACUBOY makes it a comfortable tool to use even during long periods of work. The handheld operator is lightweight and easy to handle, reducing fatigue during repetitive tasks, such as aspirating supernatants in 96-well plates. This intuitive design allows researchers to focus on their experiments without worrying about liquid handling.
Although the VACUBOY can be used with any available vacuum source, it offers optimal performance when paired with INTEGRA's VACUSAFE aspiration system. This duo forms a perfectly integrated and secure aspiration system, ideal for laboratories requiring precise and safe management of liquid waste.
The VACUSAFE is designed to provide controlled and safe aspiration, further enhancing the safety and efficiency of the VACUBOY. Together, these two devices offer a complete and efficient solution for all laboratory liquid aspiration applications.
