Focus on Productive Liquid Handling at SLAS 2012

6 Jan 2012

INTEGRA has announced that it will be displaying a broad range of its latest liquid handling products and launching a new instrument at SLAS 2012 - one of the world's largest laboratory automation and screening trade shows and congresses.

Visitors to Booth 328 will have the chance to see and discuss INTEGRA's complete range of liquid handling products including a new multifunctional rapid reagent dispenser, aspiration systems, peristaltic pumps and electronic pipettes.

At this important event INTEGRA will launch the VIAFILL™ - a ground breaking new product that delivers high performance bulk reagent dispensing, multichannel pipetting and microplate washing capabilities all from a single multipurpose instrument.

For labs looking for an affordable way to increase their liquid handling productivity the VIAFLO 96 is a 96-channel handheld electronic pipette that enables fast, precise and easy simultaneous transfer of 96 samples. The VIAFLO 96 has been designed to be used just like a standard handheld pipette. Therefore, no special skills or training are required to operate it. The highly intuitive Touch Wheel™ user interface enables simple and fast programming of a wide range of pipetting modes including repeat dispense, serial dilute and sample dilute. Users will also immediately benefit from the increased productivity delivered by their VIAFLO 96. Fast replication or reformatting of 96 and 384 well plates and high precision transferring of reagents, compounds and solutions to or from microplates is now as easy as pipetting with a standard electronic pipette into a single tube.

Also on display will be INTEGRA's complete range of VIAFLO electronic and manual pipettes, a new version of DOSE-IT peristaltic pump plus the VACUSIP - an out-of-box vacuum aspiration system for the wide array of liquid waste disposal tasks carried out at the laboratory bench.

INTEGRA Biosciences

VIAFLO 96 increases productivity of sample preparation in microplates. It 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. The working volume range of VIAFLO 96 can be quickly adapted to the application’s requirements by changing the pipetting heads. The 24 channel heads are available in the volume ranges 10-300 µl and 50-1250 µl and the 96 channel heads in the volume ranges 0.5-12.5 µl, 2-50µl, 5–125 µl, 10–300 µl and 50–1250 µl. VIAFLO 96 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 96 can be used for sample transfers from reservoir to plate, plate to plate or within plates. Features and Benefits:  • VIAFLO 96 is used like a handheld pipette and has an intuitive user interface, freeing staff from training time. • Pipetting heads can be changed for an optimal instrument adaption to different volume ranges, increasing accuracy and precision. • The innovative GripTip system provides a reliable sealing of every tip and guarantees that tips will never fall off, providing safe and reproducible assay preparation. • Various pipetting modes are available for increased productivity and application customization.
