INTEGRA has announced an extension of its range of reagent reservoirs for 96-well and 384-well multichannel pipetting systems.

Adopting a standard SBS / SLAS footprint - the extended range of reagent reservoirs (100ml and 300ml) are fully compatible with all liquid handling systems including INTEGRA's VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 Handheld Multichannel Electronic Pipettes.

Individual pyramidal indentations (96 or 384) in each reagent reservoir allow maximum liquid recovery when using the VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 electronic pipettes as well as other platforms.

VIAFLO multichannel reagent reservoirs are both economically and environmentally friendly because users can reuse the reservoir base and dispose of the reservoir inserts. These reagent reservoirs are also designed to nest within one another without sticking and come in compact, space-saving packages.

Disposable Reagent Reservoirs

INTEGRA Biosciences

INTEGRA reagent reservoirs offer a convenient solution for the temporary storage of non-solvent based liquids during any pipetting application. The system consists of disposable inserts that fit into reusable bases with clearly visible volume markings. Inserts are available as crystal clear polystyrene reservoirs or polypropylene reservoirs for improved chemical compatibility. The pour-back spouts in the corners of the reservoir allow pouring back the liquid into the original container without spills. The reagent reservoirs in sizes 10, 25 or 100 ml are stackable for space saving storage.  The polystyrene inserts are also available with the unique SureFlo™ anti-sealing array to help minimize dead volumes. Features and benefits: Light is refracted so that graduations below the liquid surface become invisible, making it easier to identify the exact desired volume line. Pour-back spouts molded into the corners of each reagent reservoir control liquid flow and enable the easy, spill-free return of reagent to its original container. Base accommodates two reservoirs, one acting as a lid.

VIAFLO 384 – Electronic 24, 96 and 384 Channel Handheld Pipette

INTEGRA Biosciences

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. VIAFLO 384 Features and Benefits: VIAFLO 384 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.

VIAFLO 96 – Electronic 24 and 96 Channel Handheld Pipette

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.
