Increasing the safety of biological liquid waste disposal
INTEGRA has launched new single-use waste collection bottles for its VACUSIP benchtop aspiration system - a compact, portable solution for safe and convenient disposal of small volumes of biological liquid waste. The introduction of new disposable
bottles allows VACUSIP users to be able to go one step further in terms of operational safety and reducing the cost of handling/disposal of biohazardous substances Made of heavy duty polypropylene,
the new single-use collection bottle is shatterproof and vacuum resistant, eliminating risks of breakage and contamination by the biological agents during manipulation. Benefiting from a compact design
enables all manipulation, aspiration and liquid waste collection steps using a VACUSIP to be carried out inside a biosafety cabinet, reducing risks of human and environmental contamination by manipulated
biohazard agents. A wide range of adapters are
available enabling easy aspiration of liquid from almost any labware including small centrifuges tubes, microplates or flasks. When full, the collection bottle is
simply disconnected from the VACUSIP system and securely sealed with the
supplied lid. After decontamination of the bottle
surface, the liquid waste can be simply and safely transferred to a licensed company for correct destruction of the bio-hazardous substances. Using the new VACUSIP single-use
waste collection bottles therefore not only reduces biohazard handling risks
Maximise microcapsules and particles by R&D spray drying
Spray drying is a simple, fast and continuous one-step drying process to transform solutions, emulsions, slurries or melts into a dry powder, and is well established at industrial scale. The application of
microencapsulation in many different R&D fields, such as pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, environmental, textiles, etc, continues to generate more and more interest within both academy
and industry. Whether you wish to encapsulate your product for protection, to control or target the release, or improve handling or organoleptic properties, BUCHI has you covered. It offers instruments to produce particles from nano to millimetre in size. The new Ultrasonic Package is
an accessory for the Mini Spray Dryer B-290 and allows users to increase their application possibilities.
The new ultrasonic nozzle enables
the production of particles with a diameter of 10-60µm, which are at least double the size compared to the particles produced with the standard nozzle system, and also have a narrow standard size distribution.
The advantages are: For more information ✔ at

n The ultrasonic nozzle operates using very low flow rates, which enables low volumes of highly valuable materials to be dried.
n Presently installed Mini Spray Dryers B-290 can be upgraded with the new Ultrasonic Package to take advantage of the new application possibilities.
