Versatile and productive 24, 96, and 384 channel pipetting: one instrument for your current and future application needs
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 handle the widest range of applications and volumes. These instruments offer an unparalleled flexibility by allowing filling plates either by hand or by using the hands-free automatic mode, with up to 3 deck positions for even more productivity.

VIAFLO 96
If you routinely fill 24 or 96 well microplates with buffers or reagents, then the VIAFLO 96 is for you. This handheld pipette is designed to fit on any lab bench, offering simultaneous pipetting for 24 or 96 channels. As easy to use as a traditional handheld pipette, it can streamline your routine pipetting while ensuring superior accuracy.

VIAFLO 384
Assay miniaturization has helped many labs to drive down costs and increase throughput, but manual pipetting into 384 or 1536 well plates can be tedious and error prone. The VIAFLO 384 overcomes this issue, using a 384 channel head, bringing the same speed and convenience offered by the popular VIAFLO 96 to higher density plate formats – as well as giving you the flexibility to fill 24 or 96 well plates.

Accelerated pipetting
VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 offer unmatched speed when transferring 24, 96, or 384 samples at once – approximately 4x faster than an electronic 8 channel pipette. This set-up provides better accuracy and precision while minimizing the risk of pipetting errors. To further increase pipetting speeds, you can even set multiple exact aspiration and dispense heights, helping you to avoid disturbing cell layers or precipitates and preventing the pipette tips from impacting the bottom of a plate. The system even offers an automatic pipetting mode and password protection for programs, helping to ensure SOPs are followed precisely, and simplifying operation where space is restricted.

Intuitive operation – handheld or hands-free
A key benefit of the VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 is that they are so easy to use without special training or programming expertise. Simply grip the handle and move the pipetting head as effortlessly as a single channel pipette. Or take advantage of the hands-free automatic mode for maximum reproducibility, especially in tight spaces such as a laminar flow cabinet.

Simple handling – up to three deck positions
Each instrument offers a choice of 10 predefined pipetting modes to help you perform common liquid handling tasks. Or you can use the touch wheel controlled graphical user interface to build programs to suit your lab’s individual workflows. Up to three working
positions are available to greatly increase productivity and reduce the time spent moving labware onto and off of the instrument.

Choice of pipetting heads
VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 are available with a number of user-exchangeable pipetting heads, making it easy to adapt the instrument to your different workflows. Simply select the number of channels to match your application, and install your head in under one minute! Each channel has its own precise piston and seal. This eliminates cross-channel influences to deliver error-free pipetting for complete or partial plates.

Space-saving design
The system’s compact benchtop design takes up minimal space, and fits into most laminar flow hoods. Each system features two or three positions for labware. A variety of interchangeable plate holders are available to suit your application – including a sliding, three-position stage for SLAS-format plates – and up to 8 microplates can be stacked on each position to further extend the flexibility of the system.

GRIPTIPS® for reliable pipetting results
The VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 feature INTEGRA’s advanced GRIPTIP system, which ensures perfect alignment and eliminates the risk of loose or leaking tips. These high quality tips provide a perfect seal and are comfortably loaded and ejected without any physical effort due to a power assisted mechanism activated by a push button. They are available in a range of volumes – as well as sterile filtered configurations – to suit your application.
