Aspiration systems
Life Science laboratories frequently deal with the generation of biological liquid waste. Typical activities include removing media from cell cultures, extracting supernatants after centrifugation, and discarding wash solutions from immuno-assay well-plates. Vacuum systems are commonly used for the aspiration, collection, and disposal of these liquids.
