Viaflo to Launch Two New Products at ASCB 2009

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. VOYAGER is the first motorized, handheld adjustable spacing pipette. Featuring a unique one handed tip spacing adjustment, touch wheel user interface, the industry’s first color screen, the lowest pipette tip attachment and ejection forces. VOYAGER 8-Channel Adjustable Tip Spacing Pipette Features & Benefits:   Multichannel Adjustable Tip Spacing - Expand anywhere from 4.5mm to 32.5mm 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 8-Channel Models:  VOYAGER Pipette, 0.5-12.5 µl  VOYAGER Pipette, 2-50 µl  VOYAGER Pipette, 5-125 µl  VOYAGER Pipette, 10-300 µl  VOYAGER Pipette, 50-1250 µl  

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.
