These portable suction unit systems from Wiggens, available through Apex Scientific, provide reliable, contamination-free fluid removal in demanding laboratory environments across South Africa. Engineered for scientists and technical professionals, these units combine performance, safety, and convenience. They are ideal for applications such as biochemical cultivation, cell culture waste management, and routine liquid handling in research or clinical settings.
Optimized for Laboratory Use
Wiggens suction units feature an oil-free piston vacuum pump, delivering stable suction with low noise and no emissions. Unlike traditional systems, this design is maintenance-free and highly durable, ensuring long-term performance. In addition, a built-in vacuum regulator allows you to adjust suction levels precisely, making it easy to match the system to your workflow.
Enhanced Protection with Dual Safeguards
To protect both users and instruments, each unit includes double overflow protection. A float switch and a 0.2 µm PTFE hydrophobic disc filter work together to prevent fluids or microbes from entering the pump. This two-stage defense is especially important when working with hazardous or sensitive biological materials.
Built for Sterilization and Daily Use
The waste bottle and filter are autoclavable, supporting high-temperature sterilization. Additionally, the rugged ABS and aluminum alloy casing resists corrosion and wipes clean with ease. For added convenience, the unit includes an integrated wire storage box that helps manage footswitch cables efficiently.
Adaptable Across Applications
Whether you’re handling culture media, separating waste fluids, or maintaining clean bench conditions, these portable suction units adapt to various laboratory tasks. Their compact and lightweight design ensures they can be moved easily between workspaces without compromising stability.
