Tools for Productive Liquid Handling Presented at SLAS2016

At SLAS 2016 - product specialists from INTEGRA will be on hand to demonstrate and answer questions on the company's 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.

Handheld pipetting requires practice to achieve steady reproducible pipetting results. The VIAFLO ASSIST is an innovative device that, in combination with a VIAFLO II electronic handheld pipette, enables the 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 VOYAGER 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.
