The use of electronic pipettes helps to increase throughput in today’s laboratories. However, prolonged manual pipetting takes up precious time, and can lead to repetitive strain injuries. Ever-decreasing sample sizes have also made it increasingly difficult to pipette without errors.
INTEGRA has developed the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot to streamline routine pipetting tasks at an affordable price. Using INTEGRA electronic multichannel pipettes or the D-ONE single channel pipetting module, this system automates repetitive tasks while eliminating physical strain, providing superior reproducibility and ensuring error-free processing.
How it works
Simply mount an INTEGRA VIAFLO or VOYAGER electronic multichannel pipette or D-ONE single channel pipetting module onto the ASSIST PLUS pipette holder, choose a pipetting protocol, add a tip rack and your labware, and press ‘RUN’. ASSIST PLUS will then automatically carry out the pipetting task.
