Integra Assist - Model Plus -Automating Multichannel Pipettes Robots
Electronic multichannel pipettes are used around the globe to increase productivity in life science laboratories, as they allow for quick reagent addition, well plate reformatting or sample dilution. However, continuous manual pipetting over a long period remains a tedious task. In consequence, many lab professionals face problems ranging from increased pipetting errors to medical problems such as repetitive strain injuries.
In light of these issues, INTEGRA has developed a family of two compact and easy to use pipetting robots, which are compatible with our Multichannel Electronic Pipettes and therefore free you from repetitive pipetting routines. Basic pipetting protocols can be set up directly on the pipette, whereas tasks that are more elaborate are easily created using the dedicated VIALAB software. Simply mount a multichannel pipette on the ASSIST and turn it into a personal pipetting robot, ensuring superior reproducibility and error free pipetting without any physical strain for the user.
Multichannel pipettes increase throughput in today’s laboratories. However, prolonged manual pipetting takes up precious time and can lead to repetitive strain injuries. In addition, ever-decreasing sample sizes have 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, the system automates pipetting tasks, eliminates physical strain and ensures superior reproducibility and error free pipetting.
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.
Overview
- Pipette adapter: accommodates all INTEGRA mulitchannel pipettes - with fixed and adjustable tip spacing.
- User Interface: program setup and selection is done using the pipette’s intuitive user interface.
- Deck: three work positions are available to accommodate reagent reservoirs, tube racks and plates.
- and 5) Automatic tip change: two dedicated postions for automatic tip loading and tip ejection.
