Aspiration System

Aspiration systems are essential liquid handling tools designed for the safe and efficient removal of liquids from various laboratory vessels. These systems typically utilize a vacuum source and precisely controlled pipetting to aspirate and dispose of supernatants, wash solutions, and other fluids. This process minimizes the risk of cross-contamination and ensures accurate sample processing for downstream applications such as cell culture, ELISA, and molecular biology techniques. Aspiration systems streamline workflows in diverse scientific disciplines including spectroscopy, chromatography, and sample preparation by automating fluid removal, enhancing reproducibility, and reducing manual handling errors. Some popular manufacturers of high-quality aspiration systems include INTEGRA Biosciences, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Sartorius. These systems accommodate a range of volumes and vessel... + More

Aspiration systems streamline workflows in diverse scientific disciplines including spectroscopy, chromatography, and sample preparation by automating fluid removal, enhancing reproducibility, and reducing manual handling errors. Some popular manufacturers of high-quality aspiration systems include INTEGRA Biosciences, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Sartorius. These systems accommodate a range of volumes and vessel types, from microplates and tubes to culture flasks and Petri dishes, making them versatile tools in modern laboratories. Sophisticated models may offer features like adjustable aspiration speed, programmable sequences, and sterile filtration options for enhanced control and biohazard containment. Reliable aspiration systems, often integrated with automated liquid handlers or used as standalone units, are critical for maintaining sterility, improving efficiency, and ensuring accurate results in experiments involving liquid handling steps. Researchers and scientists rely on these precise and efficient systems for a variety of applications including cell-based assays, DNA/RNA extraction, and protein purification. ALT offers a selection of pre-owned and refurbished liquid handling aspiration systems, each backed by a standard 90-day warranty that can be upgraded to a three-year warranty, along with ALT's lifetime support. Because they're refurbished, liquid handling aspiration systems from ALT are typically priced 50%-80% lower than the cost of new instruments, helping labs stretch their budget further without compromising on quality. - Less
