INTEGRA has announced that at SLAS 2017 it will be displaying its popular range of productivity enhancing liquid handling products.

The VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 benchtop electronic pipettes from INTEGRA offer an efficient way to increase sample throughput when working with microplates without the expense of a robotic system. These popular systems bridge the gap between traditional manual pipettes and robotic systems, allowing for accurate and reproducible 96-channel and 384-channel pipetting. VIAFLO 96/384 systems feature interchangeable pipetting heads. The heads can quickly be changed to adapt the instrument to the application's volume range, guaranteeing best pipetting performance at all times.

To enable all labs to achieve steady reproducible handheld pipetting results the VIAFLO ASSIST, in combination with a VIAFLO II electronic handheld pipette, enables your pipette's protocols to be performed automatically. This not only increases the reproducibility of pipetting results but also enables lab personnel to avoid having to undertake repetitive pipetting tasks that can cause repetitive stress injuries.

Also on display will be INTEGRA's latest generation VOYAGER II electronic multichannel pipettes which feature motorized tip spacing. This enables parallel liquid transfer between different labware formats including 24-, 48-, 96- and 384- well plates as well as tube racks and SDS / agarose gels.

VOYAGER 12-Channel Adjustable Tip Spacing Pipettes
INTEGRA Biosciences
Looking for a cost effective alternative to expensive automated sample handling? The VOYAGER adjustable spacing pipettes provide efficient multichannel sample transfers using 4, 6, 8 or 12 samples at a time for fractions of the cost of automated sample handlers. By allowing a user to change the pipettes tip spacing on the fly, the 12-channel VOYAGER enables scientists to transfer up to 12 samples at a time between labware of different sizes and configurations. The simple push of a button on the patented Touch Wheel interface opens or closes the tips to a spacing defined by the user. The result is a level of flexibility currently delivered by single channel pipettes but with a vast improvement in efficiency and productivity. VOYAGER is the first and only handheld pipette that allows the transfer of samples between two different labware formats with one-handed operation. VOYAGER 12-Channel Adjustable Tip Spacing Pipette Features & Benefits: Multichannel Adjustable Tip Spacing - Expand anywhere from 4.5 mm to 9 mm to accommodate a wide variety of micro plates, tube racks and gel boxes. Motorized Tip Movements - Offers high resolution tip spacing movements for optimal targeting; eliminates transcription errors when performing sample transfers. The motorized tip movement also allows for one hand operation. GripTip Pipette Tips - Tips that don’t fall off help eliminate precious reagent or sample waste. Tips that seal effortlessly to optimize accuracy and precision every time. Intuitive User Interface - Electronic pipettes have a common user interface making it easy enough to switch between both systems without a second thought. Convenient Pipette and Program Management - Pipettes can be connected to a computer via USB port. 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. Some VOYAGER Applications include: Sample reformatting (96 to 384 or test tubes to microwell plates) PCR Reaction Setup ELISA sample transfers Taqman Assay Setup Available Models: 4-channel 6-channel 8-channel

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 Electronic Pipettes
INTEGRA Biosciences
Electronic 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.
