BVC Fluid Aspiration Systems

The BVC family of fluid aspiration systems are designed from the ground up to meet the needs of the modern cell culture laboratory. They are quiet and compact, and provide flexibility to accommodate your decontamination protocol. The BVC Basic is suitable for use with a central vacuum or VACUU*LAN system. Complete with a mechanical regulator, it reduces demand on vacuum supply, increasing efficiency while reducing noise and impact on other applications. Both the BVC Control and BVC Professional feature a VACUUBRAND chemistry-design vacuum pump. The BVC Professional adds a liquid level sensor outside the bottle. All models are available in heavy duty polypropylene or disinfectant-resistant "G" glass versions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Well, a second hand controller of course - catalog number 688061. Then, a connector set - catalog number 699943 - unless you have the quick coupling on your bottle. The quick coupling connector set is catalog number 635807.

5. Is it okay to put bleach in the 4L polypropylene bottle?
It is not recommended to put bleach or other aggressive disinfectants in the polypropylene collection bottle. These can corrode the material of the polypropylene collection bottle, as well as other components (e.g., couplings), leading to stress cracks and breakage. If use of disinfectants in the collection bottle is desired, we recommend purchasing the BVC control G or BVC professional G with the 2L borosilicate glass bottle.
