Grant Instruments™ Aspirator with Trap Flask is designed for aspiration (removal) of alcohol (or buffer) remaining quantities from microtest tube walls during DNA (RNA) purification and other macromolecule reprecipitation techniques.

Brand:  Grant Instruments™ FTA-1

Product Code. 13426468

Description

The operating principle is based on creating negative pressure in the trapping flask using an built-in micro-compressor pump. The collecting tip is connected with polyethylene tube to the trapping flask and liquid is removed from the microtest tube or other container as soon as the collecting tip touches the solution surface. A tube holder-organiser is conveniently located on the right hand side of the FTA-1 which can accommodate two tubes, e.g., one for a hydrochloric acid solution and one for a distillate, in order to permit tip washing, storage and re-use. A suction microbiological filter eliminates the risk of contamination from the trap flask with bacteria, viruses and infected particles. The filter is hydrophobic, and with an efficiency of up to 99.9% it retains particles bigger than 0.027 micron, i. e. smaller than the agents of Hepatitis A, B and C.
