Nice to use with an high reproducibility.
Application Area:HMTS
"This apparatus allowed us to screen many compounds in a very accurate way. Reproducibility is really very nice and everyone can use it easily. You don't need any specific robotic expertise! If you know how to use a standard automatic pipette this platform is made for you. I used it in HMTS with more than 100 plates of 384 wells. It avoids all trauma due to multipipetting operations."

Very nice addition to the pipette repetoir in HTS labs.
Application Area:Ab screening
"We use this instrumentation for ab supernatant transfer and reagent stamping. Big help in the lab to do things quickly and on a semi-large scale if I'm not using a liquid handler. Also helps with transferring toxic materials - small enough to put in the hood. "

This instrument provides accuracy and saves a lot of time.
Application Area:Drug application, sample preparation
"We recently purchased the Integra Viaflo96. The 96-channel head allows precise application of drugs to our samples in 96-well format. It is also a fantastic tool to prepare and handle 96 samples at the same time. The instrument is perfect for anyone looking to step up from an 8-channel or 12-channel pipette but isn't quite ready to make the step to a fully automated liquid handling system."

We are big fans of the INTEGRA pipettes, especially the VIAFLO 96/384 instruments!
Application Area:Cell-based HTS
"We use both the VIAFLO 96 and the VIAFLO 384 for use in cell-based (yeast and mammalian) HTS screens. The instruments are easy to work with and the user-friendly programming capabilities greatly increase efficiency and generate reproducible results which are critically important. Some of our HTS campaigns would not be possible without these instruments! Compound additions and cell washes are much faster and easier with these instruments!"

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!"

"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."

NTEGRA has tapped into the value of an old school concept: customer service.
Application Area:Tissue Culture; Bench Assays
"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 messages 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."

INTEGRA Biosciences’ VIAFLO 384 increases productivity of sample preparation in microplates and supports 24, 96 and 384 channel pipetting heads.
VIAFLO 384 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. With a choice of ten interchangeable pipetting heads, the unit quickly adapts to any 24, 96, 384, or even 1536 well pipetting application in a volume range of 0.5 μl to 1250 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.
