Reduce your 96 or 384 well plate preparation time by up to 80% with the VIAFLO 96/384 handheld electronic pipette
Handheld electronic pipette used in the study of protein translation
29 Nov 2019
Anima Biotech, based in Tel Aviv, Israel, is using INTEGRA’s VIAFLO 96/384 handheld electronic pipette to study protein translation in the drive to tackle undruggable targets in diseases such as fibrosis, respiratory syncytial virus, oncology and Huntington's disease. The VIAFLO 96/384’s ability to simultaneously transfer liquids into every well of a multi-well plate has increased the speed of pipetting, improved throughput and enhanced the accuracy of the process.
Principal PSM Technology Scientist Dr. Wissam Mansour explained: “We’ve had the VIAFLO 96/384 for about two and a half years now, and find it fast, robust and easy to operate. It’s very user friendly and a big help for our work. During the early stages of assay development, and later on in the hit validation and the hit-to-lead phases, we work with small numbers of microplates. In the past, this was done manually using an 8 or 12 channel pipette, a tedious and time-consuming process that required multiple transfers. The VIAFLO 96/384 allows us to transfer samples and reagents into a 384 well plate in one step, reducing the preparation time per plate by 80 percent and increasing the throughput considerably. The ability to process an entire plate in one go has also significantly improved the accuracy and reproducibility of pipetting; there is no human hand that can manually pipette into a 384 well plate with the same accuracy as the VIAFLO 96/384.”

VIAFLO 384 – Electronic 24, 96 and 384 Channel Handheld Pipette
INTEGRA BiosciencesINTEGRA 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.
