How it works
Simply mount an INTEGRA VIAFLO or VOYAGER electronic pipette onto the ASSIST PLUS pipette holder, choose a pipetting protocol, add a tip rack and your labware. Press RUN and ASSIST PLUS will automatically carry out the
pipetting task.
1) Pipette adapter: accommodates all INTEGRA mulitchannel pipettes – with fixed and adjustable tip spacing.
2) User Interface: program setup and selection is done using the pipette’s intuitive user interface.
3) Deck: three work positions are available to accommodate reagent reservoirs, tube racks and plates.
4) and 5) Automatic tip change: two dedicated postions for automatic tip loading and tip ejection.
Ecellent Results
ASSIST PLUS ensures:
- Optimal tip immersion depths
- Consistent pipetting angle
- Controlled pipetting speeds
- Precise tip positioning in wells
- No pipetting mistakes are made
- Strict adherence to pipetting programs
This leads to superior pipetting results and work flow consistency, while also eliminating human errors such as skipping rows.
Versatility
SMART PIPETTE ADAPTER
The pipette adapter of ASSIST PLUS allows the use of all VIAFLO and VOYAGER multichannel pipettes. Pipettes range from 4 to 16 channels and cover a volume range of 0.5 to 1250 μl to allow optimal adaptation to many different applications.
LABWARE COMPATIBILITY
ASSIST PLUS can accommodate numerous labware types, from tubes to 384-well plates in landscape or portrait orientation. INTEGRA multichannel reservoirs, which are available in 10, 25 and 100 ml sizes offer exceptionally low dead volumes. For larger storage volumes, INTEGRA’s automation-friendly reservoirs can be used.
Setting Up Pipetting Tasks
DIRECTLY ON THE PIPETTE
Protocol setup and selection is done using the pipette’s intuitive user interface. The Touch Wheel allows extremely fast menu navigation and volume adjustments.Simply choose a predefined program and adapt the default settings to your requirements.
USING A COMPUTER
The VIALAB software offers a simple and intuitive graphical user interface, allowing you to create protocols with a few clicks, without extensive programming knowledge.
VIALINK Pipette Management Software offers advanced users the ultimate freedom of defining pipetting programs step by step.
GripTips
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. That means, the tip is either on or off, but nothing in between.
