 Electronic Pipettes

VOYAGER

Adjustable Tip Spacing Pipette

VOYAGER pipettes feature a unique motorized tip spacing, enabling parallel transfer of multiple samples between labware of different sizes and formats. The tip spacing can be changed by a simple push of a button.

ectronically adjustable tip spacing

VOYAGER pipettes allow the tip spacing to expand anywhere between 4.5 mm and 33 mm at the push of a button.

The motorized tip spacing offers many advantages over manual tip spacing adjustments:

Single handed operation leaves the other hand free to handle labware.

On the fly access to up to 3 user-defined tip spacings.

These user defined tip spacings are saved. No need to memorize spacings of different labware formats.

GRIPTIP® pipette tips which never leak or fall off

GRIPTIPS® are always firmly attached and perfectly aligned, regardless of how many side well touch offs are performed. You no longer have to hammer your pipette tips on or worry about pipette tips falling off!

1) LOBES
2) O-RING Seal
3) RIM SNAPS OVER THE LOBES
4) SHOULDER

The rim (3) of the GRIPTIPS® will snap over the Multi-Lobes (1), attaching firmly. As a result, GRIPTIPS® will never accidently fall off.

A shoulder (4) provides a positive stop to prevent over-tightening of the tip. It can only be attached up to that point and no further, ensuring that all tips are at the same height. As a result, the tip is either on or off, but nothing in between.

Intuitive operation and navigation

The Touch Wheel interface offers a quick and ergonomic way to modify pipetting parameters. It enables you to browse through menus, change pipetting volumes and speeds or other settings. Changing a dispense volume has never been so fast and easy!

The full color screen provides full text menus and displays pipetting protocols without abbreviations, making INTEGRA’s pipettes particularly easy to understand and intuitive to use.

Possibility to automate

Simply mount an INTEGRA VOYAGER electronic pipette with electronically adjustable tip spacing onto the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot, choose a pipetting protocol, add a tip rack and your labware. Press RUN and ASSIST PLUS will automatically carry out the full workflow

VIAFLO 96 | VIAFLO 384

24, 96 And 384 Channel Handheld Electronic Pipettes

VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 enable transfers of 24, 96 and 384 samples in a single step, thus increasing pipetting throughput and reproducibility significantly. At a fraction of the cost, they often surpass throughput capabilities of even expensive robots.

Convenient hands-free operation

The hands-free automatic mode enables the instrument to move and pipette on its own, for maximum reproducibility, especially in tight spaces such as a laminar flow cabinet.

Versatile in channels and volumes

The VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 base unit work together with 24, 96 or 384 channel pipetting heads. These are removable and take less than one minute to install. With these heads, the number of channels and volume range which can be used with the one base unit is enormous.

24 Channel Pipetting Heads
10 – 300 µl
50 – 1250 µl

96 Channel Pipetting Heads
0.5 – 12.5 µl
2 – 50 µl
5 – 125 µl
10 – 300 µl
50 – 1250 µl

384 Channel Pipetting Heads
0.5 – 12.5 µl
2 – 50 µl
5 – 125 µl

GRIPTIPS® Pipette Tips Which Never Leak or Fall off

Losing a tip during an

assay preparation can ruin hours of work. Also a reliable sealing between tip and fitting to avoid dripping tips is of key importance for accurate pipetting.

INTEGRA has redesigned the connection between pipette tip and tip fitting to eliminate these issues. The unique GRIPTIPS® PIPETTE TIPS are comfortably loaded and ejected without any physical effort due to a power assisted mechanism activated by a push button. The loading procedure also guarantees that GRIPTIPS® are not touched by the user and remain sterile.

Uses

VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 fill microplates within seconds by transferring up to 384 samples simultaneously. It reduces pipetting errors and increases pipetting reproducibility as all samples are transferred the same way.

Typical applications of reservoir to plate transfers are:

  • Compound additions
  • Medium exchange
  • Cell seeding
  • Addition of buffers and reagents (e.g. ELISA handling)

Plate duplication, supernatant transfers and plate reformatting

  • Plate duplication
  • Supernatant transfers
  • Plate reformatting 24 to 96 well plate
  • Plate reformatting 96 to 384 well plate
  • Plate reformatting 384 to 1536 well plate

Performing serial dilutions, mixing or resuspending contents
