Pipettors Provide Accurate Micro- to Milliliter-Liquid-Handling

A complete range of handheld pipetting systems provides accurate liquid-handling procedures from 0.5 µl-100 mL.

The PipetBoy pipettor range offers ease-of-use, effectiveness, build quality, performance and operational safety. Each pipettor can be used with plastic or glass pipettes with volumes of 1 mL - 100 mL. Precise and effective pipetting is simply achieved by applying varying finger pressure to the operating buttons and by adjusting the pump speed. The Pipetboy is powered by a high-performance nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery that alerts the user when it needs recharging. To avoid internal contamination, a hydrophobic filter blocks accidentally aspirated liquids before entering the pipettor. The pipettor comes in several different colors that the user can assign to a particular application, thereby avoiding mix-ups.

Complementing these products, Integra Biosciences (Chur, Switzerland) provides a complete range of Viaflo handheld electronic pipettors. The Voyager range of handheld 8- and 12-channel electronic pipettors have been designed to increase the productivity of liquid sample transfers at a time for a fraction of the cost of an common liquid handling system.

Based upon a proprietary motorized adjustable spacing design--Voyager pipettors eliminate cross-contamination and ensure consistent, accurate, and very fast delivery of liquids to target vessels with a different spacing than the row of starting vessels. Offering accurate high productivity parallel pipetting from 0.5 µL - 1,250 µL, Voyager pipettors are a suitable liquid-handling tool for applications including sample reformatting, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) set-up, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) sample transfers, and Taqman assay set-up.
