Excellent, handy way to dispense to 384-well plates while on a tight budget
Application Area:Liquid dispensing
"We purchased our ASSIST 3 years ago for dispensing into 384-well plates in a column-wise fashion using a Viaflow 16-channel pipette connected to the device. This setup is very easy to use as it runs through the pipette's interface. Dead volumes were an issue but the newer SureFlow reservoirs from Integra have resolved this."

We love it and hope to use it more often.
Application Area:Robotic pipetting
"We purchased this product earlier this year for hybridoma screening. It's easy to handle. The product came in with some problems (the track was broken), but the technician came to fix it. It was not fixed so a replacement was sent. Ever since, it has worked perfectly."

Versatile, User Friendly, Inexpensive
Application Area:Multiple uses
"A very cool piece of equipment. The Assist is easy to use and has a wide range of applications. It's great for multi dispensing plates from smaller volumes - you can even use a strip tube as a liquid source. The Assist also allows for custom programming to do more elaborate tasks aside from the pre-made programs. A cheap and innovative solution for laboratory automation."

Reliable pipetting assistant
Application Area:Tissue Culture
"The VIAFLO Assist has greatly improved our tissue culture seeding protocol for 96 and 384 well plates. It generates highly reproducible results and has expedited our workflow. It is easy to program and use, and rarely needs recalibration. As long as the pipettes are well cared for and calibrated regularly, it works consistently and without issue."

Small footprint and a huge time saver.
Application Area:Liquid Handling
"This is a great complement to the ViaFlo pipettes. Saves us a lot of time and hand strain to just set up a quick program using the touch screen and have all of our serial dilutions and plate fills done for us. We use this for SPR, TSA, and even crystallography"

Great little robot for the $ in comparison to other suppliers.
Application Area:ELISA and washing plates
"This unit is very accurate when integrated with the Viaflo pipette via Bluetooth. It not only saves time for the lab user, but increases accuracy. Each plate is filled or mixed the same way each time since this is a robot. It will also integrate with the computer to save stored programs on the pipette. However, this part could use some improvements."

Automate your multichannel pipettes!
Multichannel pipettes are invaluable when working with multiwell plates. However, prolonged and repetitive pipetting sessions bear the risk of strain and fatigue, often resulting in repetitive strain injuries (RSI) and less reproducible results.
ASSIST together with INTEGRA’s VIAFLO electronic pipettes form the perfect symbiosis to prevent users from RSI and to increase the reproducibility of prolonged pipetting protocols such as serial dilutions, plate filling and reagent addition significantly.
By mounting a VIAFLO electronic pipette on the ASSIST, the pipette’s protocols can be carried out fully automatically.
ASSIST Features:
- Touch wheel interface - A full color screen and a proven touch wheel interface offer quick and comprehensible menu navigation. Simply by moving a finger over the touch wheel, menus and settings can be accessed.
- Smart pipette adapter - Any VIAFLO multichannel pipette can be mounted to the smart pipette adapter. Pipettes are available as 8-, 12-, and 16-channel models, covering a volume range of 0.5 -1250 µl.
- Plate compatibility - Use 6-well to 384-well plates in either landscape or portrait orientation.
Choice of reservoirs - Accommodates reagent reservoirs of three different volumes: 10 ml, 25 ml and 100 ml. - Compact size - The instrument’s footprint is small and it is light weight. This makes it easy to relocate it anytime and use it in a laminar flow cabinet.
Bluetooth communication - The pipette and ASSIST are connected via Bluetooth, supporting convenient wireless connectivity.
Applications:
- Serial Dilutions
- Plate Fillings
- Reagent Additions
