Safe, Ergonomic and Fully Autoclavable Liquid Aspiration System Launched by VACUUBRAND
2 May 2017
VACUUBRAND has launched a new aspiration handset, VHCpro, which complements the existing series of liquid aspirations systems from VACUUBRAND.
“The most important criterion when working with cell cultures is the safety of the user,” says Achim Melching, Product Manager at VACUUBRAND GMBH + CO KG. With this maxim, a complete family of liquid aspiration systems have been redesigned.
The VHCpro features;
- Reliable and powerful vacuum pump
- A new non-contact level sensor for overflow protection
- Quick couplings for the BVC professional
- Hydrophobic filter with 0.2 micron pore size
Consistently designed for safety and ergonomics, the new fully autoclavable suction handset VHCpro now complements the BVC systems.
As a result of extensive testing, the developers have benefited from the feedback of many users in the laboratory to create an ideal working tool in terms of ergonomics, design and flexibility. Due to the flow through suction tube, the mechanism of the VHCpro handset is not in contact with contaminated fluids – only the tube to autoclave. The low weight of the handset also makes the work with the VHCpro user friendly. The smoothly operating mechanism has already proved its durability in an exhaustive testing program. A second mode, for permanent suction of larger volumes is quick and easy to switch to.
The aspiration systems BVC, with the new VHCpro handset and the comprehensive accessories program will help to make the work in the cell culture laboratory and in the safety cabinet significantly safer and more comfortable.
