The new family of BVC fluid aspiration systems offer the perfect solution for safe, sensitive, and efficient aspiration of supernatants for a modern Biology laboratory
- Safe containment of biofluids
- Quiet, easy to use
- Powerful enough for two users
- Premium quality for long service life
VACUUBRAND® BVC systems ensure reliable aspiration capability. Control and Professional models feature powerful VACUUBRAND® chemistry-design vacuum pumps, which offer exceptionally long service life and enough power for two users. High-quality components enable years of trouble-free operation, even when working with aggressive disinfectants. This results in a low cost of operation. High-capacity 2 or 4 liter collection bottles, an autoclavable hydrophobic 0.2μm bio-filter, and an ergonomic VacuuHandControl (VHC) keep potentially biohazardous materials contained. The VHC features a functional design which keeps all fluid within the aspiration tubing. The "G" models feature a 2 liter glass collection vessel with scratch and fragment protection coating for true bleach resistance. Streamlined design incorporates bottle, controls, and pump (Control and Professional models) in a small footprint that fits easily on a lab bench or next to a Biological Safety Cabinet. Additionally, a clip is included to help secure all tubing out of the way. Smooth contours and touch panels, rather than knobs, ensure the system is easy to keep clean as well.
The BVC Basic is the unpowered version, suitable for use with a VACUULAN® vacuum network, central vacuum system, or shared pump. A mechanical regulator provides a suitable vacuum level in the bottle for aspiration, and shuts off connection to the line when appropriate vacuum level is reached. This reduces demand on the vacuum supply, increasing efficiency while reducing noise and impact on other applications. The Basic system is supplied ready for use, and includes a stable and easy-to-clean powder-coated metal stand, 0.2μm aerosol filter, and VacuuHandControl. Available in heavy duty polypropylene, or bleach resistant glass versions.
The BVC Control features a powerful whisper-quiet VACUUBRAND® chemistry-design vacuum pump, eliminating the need for a central vacuum supply. Potentially biohazardous materials can be contained in a local area. The pump is turned on and off automatically on demand when using the VacuuHandControl, which further reduces noise levels. An easy to clean touch panel adjusts and indicates the vacuum level switchpoint. This provides exactly the aspiration power needed, at all times. Available with either a 4 liter polypropylene, or 2 liter bleach-resistant glass bottle.
The top-of-the-line BVC Professional includes an external liquid level sensor, which operates without contacting or being exposed to bottle contents. This allows users to concentrate fully on work without worrying about overflow. A special disinfection program enables the aspiration of disinfectant after the system is shut down to decontaminate the VacuuHandControl. The 4L polypropylene bottle version is supplied with quick connectors as standard. The 2 liter glass bottle “bleach proof” version includes hose barb connections, although optional quick connectors are available. The contact-free design of the level sensor simplifies container design and reduces costs when using multiple collection bottles.
All models feature integrated 2 or 4 liter containment vessels for the safe collection of biological waste. An autoclavable hydrophobic 0.2µm bio-filter protects the vacuum supply and laboratory environment from biohazardous aerosols. The VacuuHandControl (VHC) provides thumb-pressure control for precise aspiration and keeps all fluid within the aspiration tubing for containment and cleaning convenience.
