Rainin QuickFlow Vacuum Aspiration System
Ideal Assistant for Cell Culture
A vacuum aspiration system speeds liquid removal for workflows such as primary and secondary cell cultures, suspension cultures, DNA, RNA and protein extraction. QuickFlow is easy to use, easy to clean, compact and automatically shuts off when the reservoir is full. Multiple liquid ends, a continuous flow mode and autoclavable quick-connectors make this high quality benchtop vacuum aspiration system ideal for removing waste liquid from cell culture media.
Advantages of the QuickFlow Vacuum Aspiration System
Continuous Flow Mode
QuickFlow’s continuous flow mode isn’t just more efficient, it’s a hand saver. Repeatedly pressing and holding down the aspiration button demands excessive effort which, over a long cycle of aspirations, can contribute to repetitive strain injury. With ergonomics in mind, QuickFlow eliminates this problem by allowing users to select continuous flow and the amount of suction needed for optimal pipetting.
Liquid Level Sensor
When the bottle is full, a sensor stops the vacuum. QuickFlow’s non-contact level sensor offers exceptional performance and reliability. Because the sensor never encounters liquids, cleaning is never an issue. is proven to provide a long service life.
Multiple Adapters
Single and multichannel adapters work with universal-fit pipette tips. Along with the Pasteur pipette adapter, every adapter included with QuickFlow is easy to connect, operate and made of high-quality materials for long-lasting performance. Three adapters (Pasteur, single-tip and 8-tip) offer flexibility across applications.
Easy Assembly
QuickFlow is intuitive to use and simple to clean. With self-sealing quick connectors, this benchtop vacuum aspirator is designed for intuitive disassembly and reassembly. All parts that come in contact with liquids, including the handle, tubing, adapters, cap and reservoir, are all autoclavable. All parts that come in direct contact with the liquid are easy to clean and can withstand steam sterilization at 121 °C.

Can the QuickFlow portable aspirator be used as part of a vacuum manifold setup?
Yes, you can use the QuickFlow with a larger vacuum manifold.
Can QuickFlow be used in a biosafety cabinet?
Yes, both the base unit and handle of the QuickFlow can be used in a biosafety cabinet.
Can the handle assembly be used with any central vacuum aspiration system?
Yes, as well as the tubing provided in the handle kit. Other standard tubing used for vacuum removal in the lab can also be used to connect the handle.
Do LTS tips fit on the single- and multi-tip adapters?
No, they will not work with LTS tips. QuickFlow adapters have been designed for universal-fit (UNV) pipette tips.
