Product news

The Voyager range of handheld 8- and 12-channel electronic pipettors from INTEGRA Biosciences have been designed to increase the productivity of liquid sample transfers at a time for a fraction of the cost of an automated sample handling system.

Based upon a proprietary motorised adjustable spacing design - Voyager pipettors eliminate cross contamination and ensure consistent, accurate delivery of liquids to target vessels. Offering accurate high productivity pipetting from 0.5µl to 1250µl - Voyager pipettors are the perfect liquid handling tool for applications including sample reformatting, PCR Reaction set-up, ELISA sample transfers and Taqman Assay set-up.

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

ELISAEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), also known as enzyme immunoassays (EIA), are used for the detection and quantification of proteins, peptides and antibodies in a sample. ELISA often comes in kit format, with pre-selected antibody pairs to detect specific proteins or biomarkers of diseases such as diabetes and obesity, or cardiovascular and neurological disorders. Detection is made possible with chemiluminescent, fluorescent or colorimetric substrates and detection instruments such as microplate / ELISA readers. Other kits available include: Enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assays for the quantification of protein-producing cells and chemiluminescent immunoassays (CLIA) kits.
