FREE YOURSELF FROM ROUTINE PIPETTING
NEW D-ONE
SINGLE CHANNEL PIPETTING MODULE
Integra Biosciences has created the D-ONE single channel pipetting module for hands-free transfers from individual tubes or wells using the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot. This system effectively automates tedious tasks such as serial dilutions, sample normalisation, hit picking or pipetting of complex plate layouts, increasing productivity and reproducibility in the lab while reducing hands-on time, processing errors and physical strain.
ASSIST PLUS Automating Handheld Pipettes
Making hands-free serial dilutions, reagent additions, sample reformatting, normalizations and hit picking very aff ordable for every lab.

The D-ONE is available in two volume ranges – from 0.5 to 300 µl and 5 to 1250 µl – to ensure optimal pipetting performance across a wide volume range. Each D-ONE module has two separate pipetting channels, using 12.5 and 300 µl or 125 and 1250 µl GripTips for high and low volumes respectively. The D-ONE pipetting module senses the liquid level immediately before aspiration, and is compatible with all Integra GripTips used for benchtop pipetting devices.
