Biosan SIA, Ratsupites iela 7 k-2, Riga, Latvia, LV-1067 E-mail: [email protected], www.biosan.lv Phone:+37167426137 © biosan FTA-U, Universal vacuum aspirator 4 DESCRIPTION FTA-U vacuum aspiration system is powerful, ergonomic, and durable benchtop vacuum system designed to improve liquid waste handling in demanding laboratory environments, including research, clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutical QC laboratories and more. It addresses common lab challenges such as inconsistent manual aspiration, biohazard contamination risks, handling viscous liquids, and ergonomic strain during repetitive tasks. • Adjustable vacuum up to -95 kPa (-950 mbar) with a rapid aspiration speed of 12 L/min (air), ideal for efficient aspiration of viscous solutions and dense cell suspensions. • Autoclavable quick-connect bottle available in 4L size and optional 2L bottle available. • Integrated electronic overflow protection with clear audio-visual alerts prevents spills and contamination. • Hydrophobic microbiological filter automatically seals when wet, protecting the pump and maintaining sterility. • Safety - the vacuum pump stops when the threshold level is reached, preventing vacuum implosion, ensuring reliable and safe operation. • Low-noise micro diaphragm vacuum pump delivers stable, oil-free performance with minimal vibration, housed within a compact, chemical-resistant, easy-to-clean casing suitable for biosafety cabinets and benchtop use. • Accelerates liquid handling processes, significantly boosting productivity and workflow consistency. • Delivers consistent, reproducible aspiration results, with hands-free foot switch control and ergonomic manual knob options to reduce operator fatigue. • Backed by a standard 2-year warranty, extendable to 3 years upon product registration, supported globally by Biosan partner network. Application Fields, validated through published use of BiosanFTA-1 and FTA-2i aspirators: DNA/RNA Extraction: Efficient aspiration of alcohol, phenol-chloroform, PEG-based supernatants or others for nucleic acid purification. Cell Culture: Gentle removal of media, PBS, and enzymatic solutions from culture vessels, preserving cell viability and integrity. ELISA & Immunoassays: Rapid and uniform aspiration from microplates, reducing assay variability and improving accuracy. Protein Purification: Consistent removal of buffers, lysates, detergents, and precipitation agents used in chromatography and protein concentration. Microbial Fermentation: Reliable aspiration of dense bacterial or yeast cultures and broths for biofilm and antimicrobial research. Clinical, Veterinary, and Forensic Diagnostics Safe sterile handling of biohazardous fluids, maintaining biosafety and preventing contamination. Environmental & Food Testing Precise aspiration for chemical residue analysis, microbial assays, and toxin detection, ensuring regulatory compliance. Quality Control Laboratories: Consistent aspiration for chromatography, dissolution testing, formulation checks, and sample prep in pharmaceutical and chemical QC, ensuring regulatory compliance and accuracy.
