Automatic mode: The VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384
handheld electronic pipettes can operate in an automatic
mode, ensuring that all the liquid handling
steps are performed in the same way. The customized
automatic programs can be found in the
download section. IMPORTANT: When using the
automatic programs there is no need to place the
lid below the Akura 96 and 384 plates.
Spheroid collection and transfer: The special
coating of the Akura plates prevents adherence of
the spheroids to the bottom of the well. This aids
the collection of microtissues for transfer into another
plate format, or for further processing. The
customized program for spheroid collection and
transfer (TRANS_TO_384) is available in the download
section.
Conclusion
* The VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 handheld
electronic pipettes ensure precise and
accurate medium exchange in Akura 96 and
384 plates with minimal spheroid loss.
* Setting the Z-height and the Tip Align on the
VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 operator-induced
pipetting minimizes variability.
* The motor-assisted movements of the
VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 reduce strain
on the arms and wrists during pipetting of
multiple plates.
* The compact design of the VIAFLO 96
and VIAFLO 384 fits into most laminar
flow cabinets when sterile conditions are
required.
* GRIPTIPS deliver a precise and consistent
tip seal. This ensures that all tips on a
multichannel pipette are at exactly the
same height-increasing the accuracy and
precision of each multichannel dispense-
and never accidentally fall off.
* The time to result can be drastically reduced
when using the 96 or 384 channel pipettes.
