FTA-1 Aspirator with trap flask

The aspirator with trap flask FTA-1 with a 1L trap flask is designed for the aspiration or removal of any remaining alcohol or buffer from microtest tube walls during DNA / RNA purification and other macromolecule re-precipitation techniques. An ideal personal tool for independent operation away from an inline labvacuum supply.

Leírás

Compact, efficient, easy to use
Flexible for the user by offering a choice of either a single tip operation or a multi-tip option with 8 tips for use on standard PCR type plates.
The integrated micro-biological filter is hydrophobic and designed to trap any bacteria, viruses or infected particles which may have been present in the aspirated solutions.
The unit can stand directly inside a workstation, supplied with a slim 12V power cord
2 Year warranty

The unit can also be used for routine operations of cells washing from culture medium and resuspension in a buffer.

The operation principle is based on creating negative pressure in the trapping flask using an built-in micro-compressor. The collecting tip is connected with polyethylene tube to the trapping flask. Liquid is removed from the microtest tube when the collecting tip touches the solution surface.

A tube holder-organiser is conveniently located on the right hand side of the FTA-1. This can accommodate two tubes e.g. one for a hydrochloric acid solution and one for a distillate which is necessary for tip washing and storing, such that a tip can be re-used.

A suction microbiological filter eliminates risk of contamination from the trap flask with bacteria, viruses and infected particles. The suction microbiological filter is hydrophobic: with efficiency up to 99.9% it holds particles bigger than 0.027 micron, which are smaller than agents of Hepatitis A, B and C.

The use of an aspirator is preferential to using a generic laboratory vacuum line as it restricts the possibility of contamination and can be used exactly where the operator is located i.e. no need for a dedicated position in the laboratory to perform the aspirator.

Organisation Background

Advances in DNA sequencing have meant a dramatic fall in the cost and time needed for the generation of high throughput sequencing (HTS) data sets. The creation of the Eastern Sequence and Informatics Hub (EASIH) enables researchers to utilise Next Generation Sequencing, a crucial 21st-century research approach in their studies. EASIH also provides researchers with access to the tools and protocols required to analyse these complicated and large-scale datasets, and in the design and implementation of projects.

EASIH, based in Cambridge, also applies HTS to routine medical diagnostic uses, in particular in HLA typing in transplantation and cord blood stem cells, and re-sequencing of disease genes in collaboration with East Anglian Medical Genetics Service.

Grant Instruments

Anna Livings, senior lab technician at EASIH had a need to be able to aspirate and contain small amounts of liquid from the Caliper LabChip® used in the laboratory. Previously, the lab in-line vacuum system has been used; this is no longer desirable due to environmental concerns and restrictions on locations of the vacuum taps.

Using the new FTA-1 personal aspirator from Grant has solved several problems at once. An all-in-one system with pump and trap flask allows containment of the aspirant safely as well as the ability to aspirate wherever it is needed.
