Pipetting Robots

Comparing INTEGRA's Pipetting Robots

ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot

INTEGRA has developed a family of two compact and easy to use pipetting robots, which are compatible with our Multichannel Electronic Pipettes and therefore free you from repetitive pipetting routines. Basic pipetting protocols can be set up directly on the pipette, whereas tasks that are more elaborate are easily created using the dedicated software VIALAB.
