Pipette Range Delivers a First-Class Service


Researchers at the Infectious and Inflammatory Disease Center, Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute in La Jolla, USA, rely on Rainin Pipet-Lite™ XLS pipettes and filter tips for studies to identify disease-driving genes and pathways in autoimmune and infectious diseases, and cancer. Antje Rhode-Kurnow, Senior Laboratory Manager and scientific specialist in the centre’s Laboratory of Molecular Immunology, Carl Ware Lab, explained: “We do a lot of virus work, particularly experiments involving DNA and RNA studies, and it is essential to avoid any potential for contamination. Everything we use in our BSL-2 tissue culture room must be sterile, and one of the main reasons for choosing Rainin is that it offers sterile DNase/RNase-free filter tips for its pipettes.”


“We have a mix of manual and electronic, single and multichannel pipettes. Everybody loves the Pipet-Lite XLS pipettes because they are lightweight and it is very easy to change the volume settings. The multichannel pipettes are ideal for ELISAs, and the electronic single channel pipettes are really popular for RT-PCR. Rainin’s customer service is fantastic too; once a year, the company’s technicians visit our laboratory and calibrate our pipettes on site. If a pipette needs attention between these visits, we simply contact the service centre and it is collected, repaired and returned to us very quickly. It’s a great system and, together with the company’s trade-in scheme, is another good reason to stay with Rainin. I’m a very happy customer.”

Personal Pipetting Assistant Increases Consistency of Tissue Typing


Integra announces that their VIAFLO ASSIST personal pipetting assistant has been optimised for use with Linkage Biosciences LinkSēq™ tissue typing products.


The VIAFLO ASSIST has been demonstrated to increase confidence in and the simplicity of a laboratory’s tissue typing workflow. Offering consistent dispensing volume, consistent immersion depth, and consistent pipetting angle, the reproducibility and accuracy of tissue typing protocols are increased, especially during middle of the night, on-call tasks.


All VIAFLO ASSIST pipettes supplied by Linkage Biosciences come pre-programmed with a LinkSēq pipetting protocol. Simply add LinkSēq sample mixture to the reservoir and allow the VIAFLO ASSIST to add reagent to the entire LinkSēq 384-well tray. The LinkSēq VIAFLO ASSIST kit comes with the necessary consumables to get started without delay.


An application video demonstrating this exciting new tissue typing protocol can be seen at www.linkagebio.com/product/ac-300/ For further information on the VIAFLO ASSIST personal pipetting assistant please visit www.integra-biosciences.com/sites/viaflo_assist.html

Injection Valve and Sample Loop for scRNA-Seq Launched


Dolomite Bio has launched a new Injection Valve and Sample Loop for single cell RNA sequencing workflows. This option enables straightforward, gentle introduction of evenly distributed mRNA capture beads into the company’s RNA-Seq System for individual encapsulation of cells.


The Injection Valve and Sample Loop is a complete module allowing barcoded mRNA capture beads in lysis buffer to be efficiently flowed through the RNA-Seq Chip without clustering or blockages. Bead damage prior to encapsulation is negligible as harsh mechanical stirring is unnecessary, and its four-way valve and simple, compact microfluidic connections enable seamless switching between the injection of the bead suspension and pumping of a driving fluid, with minimal dead volume and bead wastage compared to traditional syringe pump methods. The integrated mirror and chip holder enable easy visualisation via the RNA-Seq System’s high speed microscope and camera, and the module also incorporates a Falcon®/Eppendorf® tube holder for easy collection of the droplet emulsion.

Miniature Inert Solenoid Pumps Provide Optimum Flexibility


The range of Solenoid Pumps available from Lee Products continues to be developed in response to the ever-increasing demands of the medical and scientific industries for components which require less space, weigh less and contribute toward energy savings. Lee’s range of inert solenoid pumps comprises the LPL, LPM and LPG Series and represents a comprehensive range of fixed volume dispense pumps which meet designers’ objectives whilst providing optimum flexibility.


They are designed to provide precise and repeatable, fixed volume dispensing in a small, lightweight package. Features include, a revolutionary port head design that allows tubing connections and manifold mounting which enable designers to test the fluidic system using connections to non-permanent ‘soft connections’. Once the system design has been finalised and approved the same pump can be manifold mounted using standard O-rings and this applies across the full range with 1/16” or 3/32” sized tubing.


The pumps feature inert wetted materials (PEEK) body with a choice of FKM and EPDM as standard elastomers. Options include 12 or 24vdc and the range provides volumes ranging from 10, 25, 50, 100 or 175µL per dispense.


The electrical interface of all Lee’s solenoid pumps features a contoured end-cap that provides secondary connector retention which is compatible with standard AMP connectors. Compatible lead wire sets are available in 2 different lengths of 6” and 24” to suit the application.
