Extended Length Pipette Tips Improve Labware Access

24 Sept 2012

Product news

INTEGRA has introduced a new extended length GripTip pipette tip, which is available in non-sterile, sterile, filter and GREEN CHOICE configurations.

The LONG GripTip pipette tip is designed to work with single, eight, twelve and sixteen channel VIAFLO electronic pipettes and VOYAGER eight and twelve channel adjustable spacing electronic pipettes. The extended length design enables easy access into labware types such as 1.5mL tubes and deep well blocks. The extended length design also reduces PCR cross contamination as the elongated tip prevents the pipette shaft from contacting the wall of the PCR tubes.

Offering an extended volume range, 0.5 - 12.5µL, the LONG GripTip allows users to repeat dispense 1µL twelve times while still allowing for a 0.5µL last dispense to improve accuracy and precision. A new video that highlights the pipette tip/tip fitting interface and the new extended length 12.5µL LONG GripTip can be viewed on the INTEGRA website.

INTEGRA designed GripTip pipette tips which, in tandem with VIAFLO pipettes, create a unique system that ensures your pipette tip will never loosen, leak or fall off again. The connection between pipette tip and tip fitting is a critical factor in ensuring accurate and precise pipetting.

VIAFLO 12-Channel Electronic Pipettes
INTEGRA Biosciences
Reliable tip sealing and firm tip attachment to the pipette are of key importance for efficient pipetting. VIAFLO electronic pipettes feature an advanced tip fitting system and work with specially designed GripTip pipette tips. This system guarantees a perfect tip sealing and that tips will never accidently fall off. It also ensures that all GripTips are being loaded on the same height on a multichannel pipette, in order to allow reliable touch offs. Attachment and ejection forces are among the lowest on the market. The VIAFLO electronic pipettes feature a colour display and an intuitive touch wheel user interface. This enables quickest volume changes and easy, ergonomic modification of pipetting parameters. Ten predefined protocols are available, such as Repeat Dispense, Serial Dilute, Sample Mix and more. In addition, up to 40 customized protocols can be created and stored on the pipette. The VIAFLO electronic pipettes are available as single-, 8-, 12-, and 16-channel models. VIAFLO 12-Channel Electronic Pipettes bring a whole new level of usability, ergonomic comfort, and productivity to laboratory pipetting, as well as a little fun and technical "wow" factor.

VOYAGER 12-Channel Adjustable Tip Spacing Pipettes
INTEGRA Biosciences
Looking for a cost effective alternative to expensive automated sample handling? The VOYAGER adjustable spacing pipettes provide efficient multichannel sample transfers using 4, 6, 8 or 12 samples at a time for fractions of the cost of automated sample handlers. By allowing a user to change the pipettes tip spacing on the fly, the 12-channel VOYAGER enables scientists to transfer up to 12 samples at a time between labware of different sizes and configurations. The simple push of a button on the patented Touch Wheel interface opens or closes the tips to a spacing defined by the user. The result is a level of flexibility currently delivered by single channel pipettes but with a vast improvement in efficiency and productivity. VOYAGER is the first and only handheld pipette that allows the transfer of samples between two different labware formats with one-handed operation. VOYAGER 12-Channel Adjustable Tip Spacing Pipette Features & Benefits: Multichannel Adjustable Tip Spacing - Expand anywhere from 4.5 mm to 9 mm to accommodate a wide variety of micro plates, tube racks and gel boxes. Motorized Tip Movements - Offers high resolution tip spacing movements for optimal targeting; eliminates transcription errors when performing sample transfers. The motorized tip movement also allows for one hand operation. GripTip Pipette Tips - Tips that don’t fall off help eliminate precious reagent or sample waste. Tips that seal effortlessly to optimize accuracy and precision every time. Intuitive User Interface - Electronic pipettes have a common user interface making it easy enough to switch between both systems without a second thought. Convenient Pipette and Program Management - Pipettes can be connected to a computer via USB port. For laboratories with many users or power users with many pipetting protocols, all custom programs can be stored and backed up in a library on the computer. Some VOYAGER Applications include: Sample reformatting (96 to 384 or test tubes to microwell plates) PCR Reaction Setup ELISA sample transfers Taqman Assay Setup Available Models: 4-channel 6-channel 8-channel
