Review Date: 9 Dec 2024 | INTEGRA Biosciences

A great instrument to have in the lab!

 

Average Rating 5.0

Application Area:

Dispensing reagents into 96 well plates.

Easy to use multi-programmable instrument to aspirate and dispense reagents onto 96 well plate formats instantly at different desired volumes. Ergonomic and a great alternative to repetitive pipetting. Produces quality and reproducible results. Only con to its use is that it uses a lot more tips than the manual way of pipetting.

Convenient 96-well liquid handler, with some learning curve.

 

Average Rating 4.7

Application Area:

Liquid handling - assay prep, plate stamping

I personally love this machine. The learning curve is slightly steep, though, as proper training and a good amount of practice is required before being able to use the VIAFLO 96 for more delicate or small volume tasks. The iPod-wheel style buttons are a bit funny but are intuitive after some practice. I appreciate that the heads are easily interchangeable. One thing I wish would change is that some processes require you to press the right button to save edits, which is a bit obvious and quite easy to overlook, which can be annoying when I'm trying to do things quickly.

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.

Reliable time-to-result with a high throughput PCR purification protocol using magnetic beads

PCR purification is a critical step in molecular biology workflows, ensuring the removal of primers, nucleotides, and other contaminants that can interfere with downstream applications such as sequencing, cloning, and genotyping. Using magnetic bead-based purification simplifies the process by selectively binding DNA fragments while eliminating unwanted byproducts.

In this application note, INTEGRA demonstrates an efficient and scalable PCR purification protocol using MAGFLO™ PCR beads with the MAG module on VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384. The automated workflow enables high-throughput processing of 96 samples simultaneously, improving consistency and reducing hands-on time.

Pipette Routine Check – Best Practices

Pipettes should be calibrated annually to maintain their performance. In the interim, it is recommended to perform a routine check to test the functionality of your pipettes in order to be confident with your pipetting results. Follow the guidelines in this poster to properly perform such a routine check.
