Best pipette in our lab, we can't live without it.
Application Area:Library Preparation NGS
"The expandable pipette is the most used one in our lab. The pipette tips are long enough for every usage (MTP, deep well plates) and stick very tight on the pipette. But they are easy to release again. We use it to transfer small volumes from a PCR plate to tubes and vice versa. There it's reliable and accurate."

Great product. Can’t live without this multichannel pipette.
Application Area:Use during sample extraction for plasma and serum samples
"This product is very easy to use and I like that it can adjust the tip space to fit different consumables. The price for the pipette and disposable tips are reasonable. Make the operators life easier especially when we processes a lot of samples per day."

Super precise and easy to program!
Application Area:Pipetting 384-well plates for qPCR analysis
"Fantastic automated pipette that is easy to program and use for my qPCR set up. This pipette is a life-saver as I need it to set up a 384-well plate and having an automated pipette that dispenses such precise values makes my life so much easier and above all, increases the precision of my data!"

Best in the quality industry.
Application Area:Quality control ELISA bulk reagent stamping
"Viaflo is the best semi-automated plate handler. The stored custom programs is the most useful and least publicized feature: it allows for PRECISE and CONSISTENT pipetting operations. Competitors do not deliver this with ease of use and version control. This is integral for quality applications. - Jay (Automation Specialist, Genentech)"

Worth the price.
Application Area:qPCR
"I advocated for the purchase of this pipette. It is a gamechanger when it comes to qPCR in addition to general lab applications as well. The tips are definitely more expensive but everyone in the lab has found it incredibly useful."

Easy to use, good value.
Application Area:Analyze proteasome activity of cell lysate and purified samples
"This pipette is accurate and very easy to use, everything is very straightforward. It is affordable. We have been using it for many years and it is still performing very well. The only complaint is we need to buy a rechargeable battery every two years. I wish the rechargeable battery would last longer."

Great pipette! Makes my daily work in the lab go much faster!
Application Area:High-throughput screening
"I appreciate the secure attachment of the tips to the VIAFLO multichannel pipette. With other pipettes, I'm always having to jam the tips on and even when I do so, one side touches the reagent container and the tip is all askew. The lightweight instrument and excellent ergonomic structure also does not make my hand ache after a long period of pipetting."

Accurate and versatile product.
Application Area:Analytical assays
"It’s a great product. It’s multi-channel and has a lot of functionality. It can repeat dispense. The channel can retract so that the tips can fit in PCR or epi tube."

This electronic multi-channel pipette is a lifesaver!
Application Area:Pipetting 384-well plates for qPCR analysis
"This electronic 8-channel pipette is a life-saver when it comes to pipetting my 384-well qPCR plates. I use the "Repeat Dispense" functionality so that I can aspirate once from my master mixes and subsequently dispense the same volume in multiple rows. It's super easy to program the volume, speed and number of dispenses. The tips are easy to insert and eject."

Great pipette with a single flaw.
Application Area:Cell culture
"This is an awesome pipette but there are plastic O rings on the tip fittings which come off or are misplaced frequently and make a mess. If they fix this I would give them five stars."

Excellent results, and very efficient design.
Application Area:Transport cell suspensions onto new plates
"This multichannel pipette transports fluids effectively, efficiently, and precisely, which is especially important when I am plating new cells using this device. It also moves liquids quickly which makes fast work of whatever I'm doing."

Very good tool for daily use.
Application Area:In-vitro toxicity assays
"After using mechanical multi-channel pipettes for some time, I was positively surprised how much easier my work with toxicity assays and multi-well plates became with a Viaflo electronic pipette. Programming was quite easy and the variable speed setting helps accuracy and precision of the pipetting. Also, the battery is still good after two years of continuous use and overnight charging."

Very easy to use system.
Application Area:Molecular biology
"Very easy to use system. Pipette tips are a bit of a premium (no generic tips available that I know of) but typically perform as advertised."
Reliable tip sealing and firm tip attachment to the pipette are of key importance for efficient pipetting.
VIAFLO electronic pipettes feature an advanced tip fitting system and work with specially designed GripTip pipette tips. This system guarantees a perfect tip sealing and that tips will never accidently fall off. It also ensures that all GripTips are being loaded on the same height on a multichannel pipette, in order to allow reliable touch offs. Attachment and ejection forces are among the lowest on the market.
The VIAFLO electronic pipettes feature a colour display and an intuitive touch wheel user interface. This enables quickest volume changes and easy, ergonomic modification of pipetting parameters. Ten predefined protocols are available, such as Repeat Dispense, Serial Dilute, Sample Mix and more. In addition, up to 40 customized protocols can be created and stored on the pipette.
The VIAFLO electronic pipettes are available as single-, 8-, 12-, and 16-channel models. VIAFLO 8-Channel bring a whole new level of usability, ergonomic comfort, and productivity to laboratory pipetting, as well as a little fun and technical "wow" factor.
The range includes the following models with varying dispensing volumes:
