VIAFILL Bulk Reagent Dispenser
Bulk reagent dispensers require a significant investment or users need to buy multiple expensive modules to build the desired dispenser. Additionally, these dispensers only offer eight channel cassettes which dispense in two passes to fill a 384 well plate. This increases the dispensing time and the risk of cross contamination. The VIAFILL is an affordable bulk reagent dispenser featuring a touch screen graphical user interface for simplistic programming. Users can easily alternate between 8 and 16 channel dispensing cassettes for rapid filling of 6 to 1536 well plates. The addition of the stacker allows for filling bulk quantities of both non-lidded and lidded plates.
How it works
The VIAFILL reagent dispenser features a touch screen graphical user interface for simplistic programming of repeat dispenses, variable volume dispenses and custom programming. Users can easily alternate between 8 and 16 channel dispensing cassettes for rapid filling of 6 to 1536 well plates. The addition of the stacker allows the utilization of 25 and 50 plate chimneys for filling bulk quantities of both non-lidded and lidded plates.
Rapid Reagent Dispensing
The VIAFILL is the only reagent dispenser which includes a color touch screen user interface and was designed to enable intuitive navigation of the instrument thus reducing the learning curve. The user interface allows users to quickly edit predefined programs and to create, store, name and recall up to 99 individual liquid handling programs.
Plate Stacker
The addition of a plate stacker increases throughput and allows for unattended operation. Well plates are conveniently stored in the plate stacker using removable chimneys designed for either 25 or 50 plates. The stacker is designed for standard or deep well plates of varying heights and is also compatible with many lidded plates.
VIAFLO 96 | VIAFLO 384
VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 meet the need for an affordable, compact, and easy to use pipette which greatly increases productivity and throughput, for a fraction of the cost of big and costly automated systems. The VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 can do everything which the INTEGRA MINI 96 does, just with more flexibility for current and future applications. By offering 10 unique pipetting heads in varying volume ranges (0.5 to 1250 ul) and number of channels (24, 96, or 384 channels), both VIAFLOs can cover a wide volume range and suit your application needs.
How it works
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.
Intuitive handheld operation
VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 are handheld 24, 96 or 384 channel pipettes designed to fit on any lab bench. It features a unique operating concept making it as easy to use as a traditional handheld pipette. Hold the control unit and push to move the pipetting head to the desired pipetting position. This unique servo assisted steering mechanism allows fast, precise and stress free multichannel pipetting without the need for position programming.
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.
Quick and comprehensible menu navigation
All INTEGRA electronic pipettes have a common user interface making it easy to switch between different systems without a second thought. A full color screen and proven touch wheel interface offer quick and comprehensible menu navigation. Simply by moving the finger over the touch wheel, menus and settings can be accessed and changed. VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 can be connected to a computer via USB port. With the free to use VIALINK PIPETTE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE, user defined custom programs can be created on the computer and then be transferred onto VIAFLO 96 or VIAFLO 384.
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.

Space Saving Footprint
With its compact design, this benchtop system requires little space on a lab bench and fits into most laminar flow hoods to allow work under sterile conditions. Up to three stage positions accommodate tip racks, microplates, reagent reservoirs or other SBS size labware. Up to 8 microplates can be stacked to make maximum use of the stage positions.
GripTip 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 GRIPTIP 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.
