Product news

INTEGRA Biosciences' portfolio of liquid handling products is being used across a whole host of molecular diagnostics workflows worldwide, including pharmacogenomics testing at El Paso Pain Center in the US,1 microRNA-based cancer diagnostics at MiRXES in Singapore,2 and even the development of a novel women’s health platform at US-based start-up Nanopath.3 There is a growing need for flexible solutions to increase productivity and improve the reproducibility of results across workflows, and INTEGRA's solutions are perfectly suited to helping you succeed.

The VOYAGER adjustable tip spacing pipettes are ideal for transferring patient samples between labware formats, enabling the simultaneous reformatting of multiple samples prior to nucleic acid extraction and PCR testing. For even greater flexibility and full workflow automation, electronic pipettes – including the D‑ONE single channel pipetting module – can be mounted on the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot, allowing you to streamline an array of routine pipetting tasks and scale up your workflow. The D-ONE offers hands-free transfers from individual tubes or wells on the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot.

Alternatively, the VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 handheld electronic pipettes, as well as the MINI 96 electronic 96 channel pipette, can boost throughput by allowing you to add buffers or samples to 96 or 384 wells simultaneously. And with the WELLJET reagent dispenser and dispenser stacker, routine testing and quality control (QC) assays can be set up rapidly, precisely and reliably.
