This application note illustrates best practices in relation to handheld pipetting and maximizing accuracy of dispensing, including the optimization of pipetting performance.

VIAFLO Single-Channel Electronic Pipette

INTEGRA Biosciences

Reliable tip sealing and firm tip attachment to the pipette are of key importance for efficient pipetting. VIAFLO electronic pipettes feature an advanced tip fitting system and work with specially designed GripTip pipette tips. This system guarantees a perfect tip sealing and that tips will never accidently fall off. It also ensures that all GripTips are being loaded on the same height on a multichannel pipette, in order to allow reliable touch offs. Attachment and ejection forces are among the lowest on the market.   The VIAFLO electronic pipettes feature a colour display and an intuitive touch wheel user interface. This enables quickest volume changes and easy, ergonomic modification of pipetting parameters. Ten predefined protocols are available, such as Repeat Dispense, Serial Dilute, Sample Mix and more. In addition, up to 40 customized protocols can be created and stored on the pipette. The VIAFLO electronic pipettes are available as single-, 8-, 12-, and 16-channel models. The range of VIAFLO's single-channel electronic pipettes includes a variaty of models with the following dispensing volumes: Single Channel VIAFLO Pipette, 0.5-12.5 µl Single Channel VIAFLO Pipette, 2-50 µl Single Channel VIAFLO Pipette, 5-125 µl Single Channel VIAFLO Pipette, 10-300 µl Single Channel VIAFLO Pipette, 50-1250 µl Single Channel VIAFLO Pipette, 100-5000 µl
