Protective Barriers

The Economical Vacuum Aspirator  (EcoVac) is a compact, user-friendly benchtop vacuum system designed for the safe and efficient disposal of liquid waste in modern biological, clinical, and research laboratories. An ideal alternative to connecting to noisy central vacuum lines or using cumbersome water aspirators, this dedicated system provides a reliable and versatile solution for aspirating supernatants, culture media, and wash buffers.

For the laboratory technician and biosafety officer, the EcoVac offers a critical safety feature: a hydrophobic filter in the collection bottle cap prevents the release of hazardous bioaerosols, protecting both personnel and sensitive experiments from cross-contamination. The system is engineered for ergonomic efficiency, featuring a lightweight handset that allows users to switch easily between "manual" and "continuous" aspiration modes. This dual-mode capability is essential for reducing hand fatigue during high-throughput tasks like clearing 96-well ELISA plates.

The unit's compact design (180×240×340 mm) allows it to fit comfortably on a benchtop, inside a biosafety cabinet, or even beneath the bench itself. Its powerful yet quiet brushless motor generates up to 500 mbar of vacuum and a liquid flow rate of 17 mL/s for fast waste removal. The system comes complete with a 2L autoclavable collection bottle and a versatile accessory kit including single and 8-channel needle probes and tip ejectors, providing compatibility with virtually any common lab consumable. For the patient, the EcoVac's robust safety features and efficient design ensure that diagnostic samples are processed in a consistent, sterile, and controlled manner, directly contributing to the accuracy and reliability of their test results.
