Serial dilution in 96 and 384 well plates

Serial dilution of assay components is a key technique in drug discovery and life science research. In assay development, serial dilution can be used to determine appropriate concentration ranges, in secondary screening to evaluate pharmacological response, and in early ADMET studies to determine toxicological effects. The ability to accurately and reproducibly produce dilution curves is essential to improving assay throughput and quality. Serial dilutions are also regularly used in microbiology when, for instance, initial concentrations of bacteria are orders of magnitude too high to perform a plate count.

The VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 channel pipettes offer high sample throughput without a robot. It is a handheld benchtop pipette, capable of 96 and 384 well pipetting with a choice of various pipetting heads. The 96 channel benchtop electronic pipette (VIAFLO 96) offers an affordable solution to increase productivity when working with microplates. It closes the gap between traditional manual pipettes and robotic systems, allowing for accurate and reproducible 96 channel pipetting. The VIAFLO 384 benchtop electronic pipette is a more advanced system, which can work with both 96 and 384 channel pipetting heads to maximize productivity. It features the same footprint and intuitive user concept as VIAFLO 96.
