• Fast and efficient automated sample transfer from tubes to plates with the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot

    Streamline your sample reformatting

    When processing samples in tubes, transfers are often performed manually with a single channel pipette. This is time consuming, error prone and draining for the operator. The ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot – in combination with a VOYAGER adjustable tip spacing pipette – provides a novel solution for accurate and efficient transfer of liquids to and from a variety of tube types. This unique pipetting robot provides all the benefits of the VOYAGER's adjustable tip spacing – reformatting samples from tube to plate up to 12 times faster compared to using a single channel pipette – as part of a walk-away, automated protocol.

Key benefits

  • When using the ASSIST PLUS, the right sample is always transferred to the right well, eliminating the chance of human errors.
  • INTEGRA's extensive range of tube racks, with the option to place labware in either landscape and portrait orientations, ensures the highest degree of versatility for sample transfers.
  • Automated transfer of hazardous samples using the ASSIST PLUS protects operators from potential exposure to harmful substances, while extending walk-away times.
  • The VOYAGER adjustable tip spacing pipette can be equipped with 300 µl LONG GRIPTIPS® to avoid the risk of cross contamination by touching the wall of long tubes.

Overview: How to transfer samples from tubes faster

In this application note, we show six examples of different sample transfers from either tubes to a plate, or from tubes to tubes (See Figure 1):

  1. Transfer from 0.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes to a 96 well plate.
  2. Transfer from 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes to HPLC vials.
  3. Transfer from cryogenic vials to a 96 flat bottom plate.
  4. Transfer from swab tubes to 96 deep well plate.
  5. Transfer from test tubes to 96 deep well plate.
  6. Transfer from 15 ml centrifuge tubes to 96 deep well plate.

Downloads: App note and protocols for fast and efficient automated sample transfer from tubes to plates with the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot

Here you can download the complete protocols used in this application and use them on your ASSIST PLUS. The protocol can be customized with the VIALAB software.

Step-by-Step Procedure:

1. Transfer from microcentrifuge tubes

Sample transfer for qPCR analysis from 0.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes to a 96 well PCR plate placed on a cooling block

Place the INTEGRA rack for 0.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes on deck position B, and load with microcentrifuge tubes containing the samples for qPCR (Figure 2, blue). Next, place the INTEGRA cooling block on position C, and place a 96 well PCR plate with the qPCR master mixes onto the cooling block (Figure 2, green).

Select and run the VIALAB program 'Transfer_from_microcentrifuge_tubes' using an 8 channel 12.5 µl VOYAGER pipette equipped with 12.5 µl Sterile Filter GRIPTIPS. The pipette transfers eight 2.5 µl samples to the PCR plate in parallel. A 0.5 µl pre- and post-dispense ensures precision while pipetting, and the tips are automatically changed after each dispense to avoid cross contamination.

After completing the sixth dispense step, the ASSIST PLUS informs the operator to change the sample rack. With six further aspirations and dispenses, sample transfer into the 96 well PCR plate is complete.

Tip:

  • The procedure parameters are easily modified in the VIALAB software as required. If the sample volume for qPCR is different, this can also be set up rapidly with ease.

2. Transfer to HPLC vials

Sample transfer from 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tubes to HPLC vials

Place the INTEGRA rack for 1.5/2 ml microcentrifuge tubes on deck position B, then fill with sample tubes (Figure 4, blue). Next, place the INTEGRA rack for HPLC tubes on deck position C (Figure 4, magenta).

Select the VIALAB program 'Transfer_to_HPLC_vials' and press Run. Using an 8 channel 300 µl VOYAGER pipette with 300 µl Sterile Filter GRIPTIPS, the system transfers 200 µl samples from the microcentrifuge tubes to the HPLC tubes for analysis. A 15 μl pre- and post-dispense step is used to increase the accuracy and precision of pipetting.

Tip:

  • The pre- and post-dispense volume should be 3-5 % of the nominal pipette tip volume.

3. Transfer from cryogenic vials

Sample transfer from cryogenic vials to a 96 well flat bottom plate

Place INTEGRA cryogenic vial racks containing the samples to be transferred for analysis on deck positions A and B (Figure 6, blue), then set a 96 well flat bottom plate on position C (Figure 6, magenta).

Select and run the VIALAB program 'Transfer from cryogenic vials' on the pipette. An 8 channel 300 µl VOYAGER pipette fitted with 300 µl Sterile Filter GRIPTIPS then transfers 200 µl samples from cryogenic tubes to 96 well flat bottom plate, changing the tips after each transfer. A 15 μl pre- and post-dispense step is included to increase the accuracy and precision of pipetting.

4. Transfer from swab tubes

Sample transfer from swab tubes, to 96 deep well plate

First, place an INTEGRA swab tube rack containing the patient's samples on deck position B (Figure 8, blue) and an empty 96 deep well plate on deck position C (Figure 8, magenta).

Select and run the VIALAB program 'Transfer_from_swab_tubes'. A 6 channel 1250 µl VOYAGER pipette with 1250 µl Sterile Filter GRIPTIPS aspirates 1000 µl sample from the swab tubes, then dispenses into the 96 deep well plate. Tips are automatically changed between samples to avoid cross contamination. A 25 µl pre- and post-dispense is also set to ensure accurate and precise liquid handling, even if the preservation medium tends to form bubbles during pipetting. After filling the first six columns of the 96 deep well plate with samples, the pipette informs the operator to change the swab tube rack. The VOYAGER then continues to fill the second half of the 96 deep well plate with samples.

Tip:

  • A 25 µl air gap has been set at the end of the aspiration to eliminate the risk of cross contamination.

Figure 9: Sample transfer from a) swab tubes to b) a 96 deep well plate.

5. Transfer from test tubes

Sample transfer from 5 ml test tubes to a 96 deep well plate

First, put two INTEGRA 5 ml test tube racks with samples on deck positions A and B (Figure 10, blue), and an empty 96 deep well plate on position C (Figure 10, magenta). For this application, use an 8 channel 1250 µl VOYAGER pipette with 1250 µl Sterile Filter GRIPTIPS.

Select the custom VIALAB program 'Transfer_from_test_tubes' on the pipette, and press Run. The pipette transfers 1000 µl of each sample from the test tubes to the 96 deep well plate after mixing three times.

Tip:

  • Proper mixing of samples prior to transfer can be critical for certain sample types. The mixing volume, speed and number of cycles can be easily set up in the VIALAB program.

6. Transfer from centrifuge tubes

Sample transfer from 15 ml centrifuge tubes to a 96 deep well plate

Equip the ASSIST PLUS with a 6 channel 1250 µl VOYAGER pipette using 1250 µl Sterile Filter GRIPTIPS. Place an INTEGRA 15 ml centrifuge tube rack on deck position B (Figure 12, blue), and load all the sample tubes into the rack. Place an empty 96 deep well plate, in portrait orientation, on deck position C (Figure 12, magenta).

Choose and run the VIALAB program 'Transfer_from_centrifuge_tubes' on the VOYAGER pipette. Samples in the centrifuge tubes are mixed three times, then 1000 μl of each sample is transferred to the deep well plate.

Tip:

  • The tip travel function is used during the mixing steps to optimize tip immersion depth.

Customer’s voice

The ASSISST PLUS is a valuable pipetting workstation that should be in every lab that values pipetting precision and accuracy. It's footprint and price makes it a great replacement for the standard rack of pipettes and allows analysts to devote more time to high value work and provides greater precision, accuracy, and consistency for repeated pipetting needs.
