Loved it so much that we bought a second one!
Application Area: Vaccine Adjuvant Cell Work
"The VIAFLO 384 hand-held electronic and channel pipette has been a life-changing instrument in the lab! Without this instrument, it would take the researchers 10 times longer to complete their plates (they average about 100 384-plates per week). Easy to use and reliable. The lab loved the first one so much that they purchased a second one to use in their virology lab. After one year, we have not had any problems with them yet!"

Fantastic instrument, easy to use, and great results!
Application Area:Genomic and drug screening, drug matrices
"The Viaflo 384 is a wonderful liquid handler that is cost effective and extremely easy to use/program. Integra Biosciences has knowledgeable helpful representatives that have been able to effectively and quickly answer any questions or concerns, even after we purchased the instrument."

We would be lost without it!
Application Area:Genetic testing
"The 96/384 Viaflo electronic pipettor makes our lives so much easier. The ability to transfer patient DNA samples from the 96 well extraction plate to the 384 well PCR plate, simplifies our work flow and helps eliminate a potential source of error. We would be lost without it!"

Efficient and easy way of pipetting in plate format.
Application Area:Cell culture transfer
"Very easy to program, requires no maintenance, quick and easy way to pipet cell culture in 96 or 384 well plate format."

Simply irreplaceable
Application Area:Liquid handling
"The ViaFlo 384 has a learning curve but so far no one in our team has failed to master the device! The advantage of using the ViaFlo384 is immeasurable because our current workflows would be impossible without it. Integra customer service has been supportive and responsive in helping us set up and maintain the instrument."

Huge time saver for HTS!
Application Area:High-Throughput Screening
"The VIAFLO 384 has absolutely improved our high-throughput screening protocol. Not only are we able to reliably and reproducibly apply treatments to 384-well plates, we can also do it simultaneously. It has greatly improved our speed and thus provides more uniform and reliable results. We absolutely love this instrument."

Awesome instrument
Application Area:PCR bead purification, flow cytometry staining
"This instrument has saved my wrist/hand when it became weak from repetitive strain injury from pipetting. I use it for most of my 96 or 384 well pipetting and refuse to go back to doing it by hand. It is easy to use, and extremely accurate. I have had trouble in the past with ordering consumables, but that problem seems to have been rectified. Our field rep is also extremely helpful and accessible, I never have any problems reaching him."

"Our lab purchased two of these systems right off the bat, and we have become completely dependent on them as part of our workflow. From seeding plates to adding wash buffers, these pipetting systems have increased our productivity beyond measure, and afforded us higher confidence in our results since technical error has almost been completely negated. The software is user friendly, and is wonderfully the same as the hand-held pipettes. Moreover, the after-sale support surpasses that of much larger and more-established bioscience companies. If and when we have an issue, our rep directly troubleshoots the problem, from training to just-checking-in, from text msgs to on-site visits, from over-night shipments to unusually large orders! Integra has tapped into the value of an old school concept: customer service."

"Very easy to use for benchtop prep work. Simple, sleek and highly efficient design. Impressive accuracy across a range of volumes."
INTEGRA Biosciences VIAFLO 384 increases productivity of sample preparation in microplates and supports 96- and 384-channel pipetting heads.
VIAFLO 384 is used like a standard hand held 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 384 can be quickly adapted to the application’s requirements by changing one of five 96-channel pipetting heads covering the volume ranges of 0.5 -12.5 µl , 2 - 50 µl, 5 -125 µl , 10 - 300 µl and 50 - 1250 µl and three 384-channel pipetting heads of 0.5 -12.5 µl , 2 - 50 µl and 5 - 125 µl.
VIAFLO 384 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 384 can be used for sample transfers from reservoir to plate, plate to plate or within plates.
