What instrument is right for me? | ||||||
| Budget conscious labs who want to greatly increase their productivity in filling partial or full plates with an instrument that can be moved all around the lab. | Labs who want to greatly increase productivity in filling partial and full plates, but want to work with more positions (up to 3), want a more hands-free «automatic» experience, and are working with a wide volume range. | Same as VIAFLO 96, but 384 channels are required (now or in the future) to fill those plates quickly and precisely. | ||||

GripTips for benchtop pipetting systems
For MINI96, VIAFLO 96, VIAFLO 384 and ASSIST PLUS
- Precise and consistent tip seal ensures that all tips on MINI 96, VIAFLO 96, VIAFLO 384, and ASSIST PLUS are precisely at an identical height for reliable touch offs and consistent pipetting results.
- Using Low Retention GripTips prevents low surface tension samples from spreading out and “wetting” the inner wall of the tips, allowing them to bead-up for a maximum liquid recovery.
