Simple Solutions for Faster 384 Well Pipetting
Integra Biosciences is dedicated to developing innovative solutions to everyday pipetting challenges, and offers an array of options to simplify and enhance 384 well pipetting, from multichannel manual pipettes to pipetting robots.
384 well microplate formats are becoming increasingly popular for a wide range of applications, allowing scientists to use less of their precious samples and expensive reagents, and helping to bring down the overall cost of research or routine screening. However, trying to consistently and accurately aspirate or dispense into these plates using a single or an 8 channel pipette is not only extremely time consuming, but is also very likely to lead to human error and fatigue. Integra’s range of pipetting products offers a variety of solutions to improve productivity and reduce errors for workflows – including 384 well formats.
The 16 channel formats of the popular EVOLVE manual pipettes and VIAFLO electronic pipettes enable simultaneous pipetting of an entire column of wells, greatly reducing the time taken to set up a plate compared to standard multichannel pipettes. For samples in a different format, the adjustable tip spacing capabilities of the VOYAGER electronic pipettes allow the user to quickly and easily reformat samples at the press of a button.
To increase productivity even further, Integra also offers the ASSIST and ASSIST PLUS pipetting robots. These compact, benchtop automation options enable walk- away processing, increasing reproducibility, reducing hands-on time and eliminating human error. To fully optimise your 384 well pipetting, Integra’s VIAFLO 384 channel electronic pipette allows you to pipette all 384 wells at once. It’s small, versatile and easy to use, simplifying tasks such as filling plates from reservoirs, plate-to-plate transfers or in-plate dilutions, and can be hand operated or semi-automated to further improve productivity.

Next Level Liquid Flow Sensing Technology Now Available Worldwide
The SLF3x, Sensirion’s latest innovation in liquid flow sensing, is now available worldwide from Sensirion’s distribution network. Based on Sensirion’s excellent 20-year track record in low and lowest flow rate sensing, the radically optimised mechanical design of the SLF3x takes an already well-established functionality to the next level in terms of price- performance ratio.
In line with Sensirion’s proven track record in liquid flow sensing, the SLF3x liquid flow sensor is the result of a continuous and tireless strive for innovation. This sensor is based on Sensirion’s CMOSens® Technology and optimises costs by simplifying the design without sacrificing performance or having to forgo any user-friendly fluidic, electrical and mechanical connections. The sensor allows for the bidirectional measurement of flow rates up to 40 ml/min for both water and hydrocarbon-based fluids. In combination with its excellent signal-to-noise ratio and unprecedented turndown ratio of 200:1, it allows real-time monitoring of any fluidic system, which improves process control and enables advanced failure detection. The straight, unobstructed flow channel has no moving parts and is made from inert wetted materials providing outstanding chemical resistance and excellent media compatibility.
The SLF3x provides an unparalleled level of fluid control, system reliability, performance and end-user satisfaction for a range of applications in the fields of diagnostics, analytical instruments and life sciences. The ultra-compact form factor and cost-effective design pave the way for system designs featuring one or more sensors that were previously unfeasible.
To see the new liquid flow sensor in action, be sure to visit Sensirion at the Analytica 2020 trade fair from 31 March to 3 April in Munich, Germany (stand 413, hall A3). For more information, please visit our website and watch the video. The SLF3x is available to order via Sensirion’s worldwide distribution network.

Manual Pipetting of 384-well Plates Made Easy
Once throughput increases and sample volumes decrease, users face a dilemma. The so-called ‘alternate well pipetting method’, which uses 8 and 12 channel pipettes to fill 384-well plates, demands intense concentration; furthermore, it is time-consuming and carries a high risk of error.
With their 16 and 24 channels, the new mechanical multichannel pipettes Eppendorf Research plus and the new electronic multichannel pipettes Eppendorf Xplorer plus can now tackle entire columns and rows of a 384- well plate in one single step. Up to 24 reactions may thus be started and stopped simultaneously. An entire plate can be managed manually within the space of a minute. In this way, the user will save time while at the same time improving the reproducibility of their results.
The system that comprises the innovative Eppendorf pipette tips epT.I.P.S.® 384 and ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S.® 384 will afford the user the utmost security. The unique SOFTattach technology utilises elastic forming grooves that contribute to a perfect tip fit as well as to a perfect seal of the system. The tip attachment forces could thus be reduced by an additional 40% per cone. An extremely fine tip shape that displays perfect coaxiality makes secure manoeuvring of samples into the tiny wells of a 384-well plate as easy as pie. With these innovations, the Eppendorf PhysioCare Concept® has once again achieved a significant leap forward, and even under conditions of increased throughput, the pipetting experience has now become even more ergonomic and comfortable.
