Disposable Reagent Reservoirs With Clearly Visible Volume Markings

6 Nov 2011

INTEGRA have announced a new disposable reagent reservoir system that combines low-cost, stackable, crystal clear polystyrene reservoirs with clearly marked, graduated and reusable bases. The reagent reservoir inserts have been designed to be stackable, making it possible for the reservoirs to be stored in half the space compared to alternative designs.

INTEGRA VIAFLO reservoirs are both economically and environmentally friendly because users can reuse the reservoir base and only have to dispose of the reservoir inserts.

Since the volume graduations are permanently marked on the inside of the base rather than moulded into the reservoir body, users can accurately gauge the amount of fluid being poured into the reservoir and virtually eliminate reagent waste. The unique design of the 25ml and 100ml reagent reservoir also allows graduations below the surface of the liquid to become invisible, further enhancing the visibility of the selected volume line.

Pour-back spouts moulded into the corners of each reagent reservoir help control liquid flow and enable easy, spill-free return of excess reagent into its original container. The product base accommodates two reservoirs, one acting as a lid to allow short term reagent storage while preventing evaporation or contamination from particulates. Convenient EZ Peel paper lids ensure sterility without the expense or waste of an extra individually bagged reservoir lid.

Reagent reservoirs are an essential accessory for a multitude of liquid handling procedures. The unique design of INTEGRA reagent reservoirs enables them to provide a new level of accuracy and cost efficiency that will benefit applications including ELISA assays, Cell culture media addition, PCR reagent handling, Sequencing reactions, Kinetic assays or any protocol requiring temporary sterile fluid storage in a contamination-free container.

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.
