Rapid Sample Transfer between Differing Labware Formats Using Adjustable Multichannel Pipetting

7 Oct 2012

This white paper demonstrates the benefits of adjustable spacing multichannel pipetting, as available in the INTEGRA Viaflo Voyager. This presents labs with a valuable new tool for accelerating tasks where samples need reformatting and at the same time increasing precision, reliability and comfort of the pipetting procedure.

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. The range includes the following models with varying volumes: 12-Channel VIAFLO Pipette, 0.50-12.5 uL 12-Channel VIAFLO Pipette, 2.0-50.0 uL 12-Channel VIAFLO Pipette, 5.0-125.0 uL 12-Channel VIAFLO Pipette, 10.0-300.0 uL 12-Channel VIAFLO Pipette, 50.0-1250 uL

VIAFLO 96 – Electronic 24 and 96 Channel Handheld Pipette
INTEGRA Biosciences
VIAFLO 96 increases productivity of sample preparation in microplates. It is used like a standard handheld pipette. It is hand-controlled but movements are supported by motors for an effortless workflow and precise targeting of the microplate wells. The working volume range of VIAFLO 96 can be quickly adapted to the application’s requirements by changing the pipetting heads. The 24 channel heads are available in the volume ranges 10-300 µl and 50-1250 µl and the 96 channel heads in the volume ranges 0.5-12.5 µl, 2-50µl, 5–125 µl, 10–300 µl and 50–1250 µl. VIAFLO 96 benefits from the innovative GripTip system. The special pipette tips, together with the unique tip fitting, form an integral system. It guarantees tips will not fall off during pipetting and provides a reliable sealing of every tip. VIAFLO 96 can be used for sample transfers from reservoir to plate, plate to plate or within plates. Features and Benefits: • VIAFLO 96 is used like a handheld pipette and has an intuitive user interface, freeing staff from training time. • Pipetting heads can be changed for an optimal instrument adaption to different volume ranges, increasing accuracy and precision. • The innovative GripTip system provides a reliable sealing of every tip and guarantees that tips will never fall off, providing safe and reproducible assay preparation. • Various pipetting modes are available for increased productivity and application customization.
