Lightweight Electronic Pipette Offers Enhanced Ease of Use
28 Aug 2014INTEGRA has announced a software update for its VIAFLO II electronic pipette range that now features a full-text, multilingual user interface in English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese.
Combining ultra lightweight ergonomic design with a highly intuitive user interface – VIAFLO II electronic pipettes are as easy to use as a single channel manual pipette but offer many advantages.
The VIAFLO II’s integral color screen together with easy to navigate touch wheel user interface ensures set up and operation are both simple and fast. With the VIAFLO II touch wheel user interface, it’s a lot quicker and easier to change volumes than with a manual pipette. Forget about twisting/rotating a knob on the manual pipette to go from high to low volume (or vice versa). It’s slow and fatiguing. The touch wheel of the VIAFLO II pipettes can be operated single handed and you can jump from minimum to maximum volume within a second. Simply by running your finger across the Touch Wheel you can select your pipetting protocols and modify operating parameters such as volumes. All VIAFLO II pipettes include a choice of up to 10 predefined pipetting modes enabling a user to start working almost immediately with a minimum of parameters to define. For more demanding pipetting routines up to 40 personalized custom programs can be created and stored. The on-board help text provides easy-to-understand explanations of operating functions and options in the user interface’s language.
The ergonomic design of VIAFLO II electronic pipettes facilitates hours of tireless pipetting. With just one light press of the Run button a VIAFLO II electronic pipette can perform many procedures eliminating the time-consuming repetitive plunger motion required of manual pipettes. Available in single, 8-, 12- and 16-channel versions, VIAFLO II electronic pipettes offer an optimized precision pipetting solution from 0.5 - 1250 microlitres.
Together with INTEGRA’s wide range of GripTip pipette tips – VIAFLO II electronic pipettes form the perfect pipetting system. GripTips snap into place with minimal tip loading effort, providing a secure connection. GripTips never fall off and are always perfectly aligned, resulting in superior accuracy and precision results.

VIAFLO Electronic Pipettes
INTEGRA BiosciencesElectronic pipettes with touch wheel user interface. VIAFLO pipettes accommodate any pipetting task at hand: from single transfers to complex protocols. An intuitive touch wheel interface and color display allows for the quickest volume changes and user friendly menu navigation. The ergonomic design enables effortless pipetting. The unique tip fitting of the VIAFLO pipette assures that GripTip pipette tips will never loosen, leak or fall off. VIAFLO Electronic Pipettes Features: GripTip Pipette Tips - By designing our GripTips™ in tandem with VIAFLO pipettes, we have created a unique, integrated system that offers the securest pipette and pipette tip connection. High lateral resistance. This prevents tips from falling off when touching off a multichannel pipette within a 96 or 384 well plate. Low required tip attachment forces. Low required tip ejection forces. All tips seal at the same height ensuring a perfect touch off and increased precision when dispensing. Intuitive User 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. All menus are spelled out on the clear to read screen making memorizing of abbreviations unnecessary. Convenient Pipette and Program Management - VIAFLO pipettes can be connected to a computer via USB port. With the free to use pipette management software VIALINK, custom programs can be created on the computer and then be transferred onto VIAFLO pipettes. For laboratories with many users or power users with many pipetting protocols, all custom programs can be stored and backed up in a library on the computer.

GripTips for INTEGRA Pipettes
INTEGRA BiosciencesThe GripTips together with VIAFLO, VOYAGER and EVOLVE pipettes from INTEGRA form an integral system. Pipette tip and pipette were designed to fit perfectly together. As a result, the loading and attachment forces of the tips could be reduced to minimize wrist related stresses. In addition, the system provides a perfect tip sealing and reliably prevents tips from accidently falling off during pipetting. Consistent and safe pipetting guaranteed! Using Low Retention GripTips from INTEGRAwith heightened hydrophobic properties prevents low surface tension samples from spreading out at the inner wall of the tips for a maximum liquid recovery. Available in five volumes (12.5 µl to 5000 µl) GripTips come in bulk or stackable boxes (non-sterile, sterile and filtered) featuring colour-coded inserts that correspond to the volume ranges of the INTEGRA pipettes. The 12.5 µl and 125 µl GripTips come in 384-fold configuration, so the same tips and boxes can be used with 16-channel pipettes as well. The GREEN CHOICE is an environmentally friendly packaging of GripTips. Each GREEN CHOICE contains five GripTip inserts of non-sterile or pre-sterilized GripTips to refill the current tip boxes. Features and benefits: GripTips snap onto the tip fitting of INTEGRA pipettes, which prevents tips from falling off. Reduced tip attachment and ejection forces for comfortable, stress-free pipetting. Precise and consistent tip seal ensures that all tips on a multichannel pipette are precisely at an identical height for reliable touch offs and consistent pipetting results.
