Product news

INTEGRA Biosciences’ VIAFLO electronic pipettes are helping denovoMATRIX in Dresden, Germany, to produce modular, biomimetic coatings for cell culture plasticware that can be tailored to recreate a large variety of conditions for testing adherent cell cultures.

Chief Scientific Officer Dr Richard Wetzel explained: “We have developed a range of pre-coated cell culture plasticware – screenMATRIX and myMATRIX – and use the VIAFLO pipettes to prepare and fix the biomimetic coating onto these products.”

“When we started the company, we chose INTEGRA from the outset because of the quality and durability of its products. I had previously worked with INTEGRA pipettes in other labs, so I knew first-hand about their usability, and how good the customer service is. We have multichannel and single channel VIAFLO pipettes in a range of sizes, including 100, 300 and 1250 µl. The Repeat Dispense function saves a lot of time compared to pipetting aliquots one at a time, and the automatic Pipet/Mix function is also really handy – it simplifies the process and ensures that your solution is uniformly mixed. Quality of results is vital, and we know that we can trust the accuracy of the VIAFLO pipettes; we don’t need to double-check whether the pipette is doing what it should. The GripTips pipette tips are always correctly aligned and locked on, and the GREEN CHOICE refill inserts reduce wastage. We have complete confidence in the quality of INTEGRA products and they will always be the first choice for our lab.”

VIAFLO Electronic Pipettes

INTEGRA Biosciences

Electronic pipettes with touch wheel user interface.   VIAFLO pipettes accommodate any pipetting task at hand: from single transfers to complex protocols. An intuitive touch wheel interface and color display allows for the quickest volume changes and user friendly menu navigation. The ergonomic design enables effortless pipetting. The unique tip fitting of the VIAFLO pipette assures that GripTip pipette tips will never loosen, leak or fall off. VIAFLO Electronic Pipettes Features:   GripTip Pipette Tips - By designing our GripTips™ in tandem with VIAFLO pipettes, we have created a unique, integrated system that offers the securest pipette and pipette tip connection. High lateral resistance. This prevents tips from falling off when touching off a multichannel pipette within a 96 or 384 well plate. Low required tip attachment forces. Low required tip ejection forces. All tips seal at the same height ensuring a perfect touch off and increased precision when dispensing. Intuitive User Interface - A full color screen and a proven touch wheel interface offer quick and comprehensible menu navigation. Simply by moving a finger over the touch wheel, menus and settings can be accessed. All menus are spelled out on the clear to read screen making memorizing of abbreviations unnecessary. Convenient Pipette and Program Management - VIAFLO pipettes can be connected to a computer via USB port. With the free to use pipette management software VIALINK, custom programs can be created on the computer and then be transferred onto VIAFLO pipettes. 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. Applications: Repeat Dispense Manual Pipetting Sample Dilution Reverse Pipetting Variable Dispense
