A six-channel electronic adjustable-spacing pipettor has been designed for laboratories looking for a productive and flexible electronic pipettor, and features an innovative mechanism that alters tip spacing at the press of a button.

The new six-channel Voyager incorporates a small motor that moves the center-to-center tip spacing quickly and smoothly at any point in a protocol, all with one hand. Users can preset up to three distinct tip spacings, enabling one six-channel Voyager to accommodate most labware vessels. The six-channel tip spacing for both models can be adjusted from 9.0 mm to 19.5 mm.

All Voyager pipettors share the same easy-to-use Touch Wheel controller from the award-winning Viaflo pipettors series with intuitive programming and the industry's first full-color display. Moreover, all Voyager pipettors are designed to utilize Viaflo Griptips. As a result, individuals can pipette without ever having a tip loosen and leak or fall off. Two six-channel Voyager models are now available, in volume ranges of 10 µl to 300 µl and 50 µl to 1250 µl. This unique product makes quick work with 24 well plates, 48 well plates, and many additional labware formats. The pipettors were developed by Integra Biosciences, AG (Zizers, Switzerland).

Integra is a provider of laboratory tools for liquid handling, media preparation, sterilization, and cell cultivation. Integra, comprising Integra Biosciences AG and the Viaflo Corp. (Hudson, NH, USA), maintains a worldwide network of over 90 independent distribution partners.
