2. Abridged description
VacuSafe is a controllable aspiration device with integrated
pump and controller and a vacuum/pressure bottle. It is
designed for laboratory use, for aspirating and dispensing
liquids with presettable vacuum and pressure. In
combination with the VACUBOY handoperator or tubing
fitted with a pipette tip, liquids can be aspirated or
dispensed completely contamination-free.
The operating modes "aspirate" and "dispense" can be
selected either individually or in combination.
In the combination mode, a second bottle must be connect-
ed to the pump so that both a vacuum and a pressure source
can be used simultaneously. The MODE key or foot switch
(optional) can be used to switch between the aspirating and
dispensing modes.
Tubing connectors are self-closing. The bottles can thus be
separated, contamination-free, from tubing and pump for
autoclaving or disposal.
