Product Name:

Pipette Vacuum Aspirator Collection System

Catalog Number:

F199170150

This is a standalone vacuum aspirator that does not require connection to a vacuum line and can be placed anywhere with a power source. The parts were difficult to assemble and most importantly the suction power was really low.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Aspiration of fluids independant of a fixed vacuum line.

Starting Material

None

Protocol Overview

Assemble the parts as described in the manual. Connect to power and use the suction line to pick up any fluid you want to aspirate.

Tips

Use it only for non-aseptic purposes.

Results Summary

The vacuum suction power was low, so it took a long time to aspirate large volumes of liquid. However, without a wall-in vacuum line, this may be the only option.

Features Summary

Works indepedant of a vacuum line, low noise.

Additional Notes
