The BioVac 350 and 650 series filtration manifolds from Wiggens, available in South Africa through Apex Scientific, provide precise and efficient parallel vacuum filtration for demanding laboratory workflows. They are designed for microbiological testing, environmental monitoring, and analytical sample preparation for HPLC, GC, and AA. As a result, these systems combine durability, versatility, and ease of use, making them essential pieces of modern laboratory equipment.

 

BioVac 350 Series

The BioVac 350 series uses SS316 stainless steel for chemical resistance and allows rapid sterilization by flame or steam. Alternatively, an anodized aluminium option provides a lightweight, cost-effective, and autoclavable solution. In addition, the patented spin-lock connection enables fast assembly without clamps, and independent control valves allow precise flow regulation. It supports 100 mL, 300 mL, and 500 mL funnels. Moreover, the magnetic filter holder ensures one-handed operation and reproducible results.

 

BioVac 650 Series

The BioVac 650 series is built entirely from SS316 stainless steel for demanding workflows, while an anodized aluminium version suits lighter-duty applications. Its spin-lock design ensures quick, stable setup. Each branch features independent valves for accurate flow control. Funnel compatibility and magnetic holders also allow ergonomic, one-handed operation. Consequently, the system maintains efficiency and reproducibility even in high-throughput laboratories.
