Does the QIAamp DSP Virus Kit require the QIAvac 24 Plus, or can I use it with my own laboratory vacuum system?

It is possible to use a general laboratory vacuum system with the QIAamp DSP Virus Kit. However, this will require validation in-house. The CE-marked QIAamp Kits have been developed, field-tested and validated with the QIAvac 24 Plus vacuum system (QIAvac 24 Plus, QIAvac Connecting System and Vacuum Pump). Using this system with the QIAamp DSP Virus Kit will avoid lengthy validation procedures for the enduser.
