Product Description
Brand Qiagen
Model QIAvac
Capacity 24 Columns
CAT No 19505
Application Vacuum System
QIAGEN QIAvac vacuum systems enable fast and efficient vacuum processing of up to 24 spin columns using the QIAvac 24 Plus, of 96-well plates using the QIAvac 96 and up to 6 HiSpeed Mega or Giga Columns using the QIAvac HiSpeed LS Vacuum.
Efficient Parallel ProcessingThe QIAvac HiSpeed LS streamlines plasmid extraction by allowing the simultaneous processing of up to 20 samples. It is specifically designed for high-volume laboratories using QIAGEN HiSpeed, Midi, Maxi, and Mega Columns, significantly reducing workflow time without compromising yield or purity.
User-Friendly and Safe OperationEquipped with a robust waste collection bottle and a safety valve, the system prevents overflow and contamination. Selected parts can be autoclaved, ensuring thorough sterilization between uses. Its manual operation with vacuum connections requires no electrical power, enhancing laboratory safety and flexibility.
Durable, Portable, and Low MaintenanceConstructed from chemical-resistant, durable plastics, the QIAvac HiSpeed LS is engineered for longevity and regular use. Its compact, lightweight design makes it easy to transport between workspaces, while smooth surfaces and detachable elements simplify cleaning and routine care.
FAQ's of Qiagen QIAvac HiSpeed LS:
Q: How does the QIAvac HiSpeed LS operate without electricity?
A: The QIAvac HiSpeed LS is manually operated and does not require a built-in power supply. It connects to an external vacuum pump (not included) via standard vacuum tubing, creating the necessary vacuum for sample processing.
Q: What types of columns are compatible with this device?
A: This system is compatible with QIAGEN HiSpeed, Midi, Maxi, and Mega columns, allowing researchers to use the column size that best fits their sample requirements.
Q: When should the waste bottle be emptied, and how do safety features work?
A: The waste bottle should be emptied when it approaches its capacity to prevent overflow. The bottle includes a safety valve that halts suction if overfilled, helping protect users and maintain safe laboratory conditions.
Q: Where is the Qiagen QIAvac HiSpeed LS typically used?
A: This device is ideal for research and diagnostic laboratories across India that require high-throughput plasmid purification. Its portability and manual operation make it suitable for any setting with access to a vacuum pump.
Q: What is the process for cleaning and maintaining the QIAvac HiSpeed LS?
A: After each use, detachable and selected autoclavable parts should be cleaned and sterilized according to laboratory protocols. The chemical-resistant materials facilitate easy maintenance, ensuring reliable long-term performance.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the QIAvac HiSpeed LS in the laboratory?
A: Key advantages include efficient parallel processing of up to 20 samples, enhanced safety with its overflow-protected waste bottle, no reliance on electrical power, easy cleaning, and compatibility with widely used QIAGEN columns.
