Bulk reagent dispensers require a significant investment or users need to buy multiple expensive modules to build the desired dispenser. Additionally, these dispensers only offer eight channel cassettes which dispense in two passes to fill a 384 well plate. This increases the dispensing time and the risk of cross contamination.
The VIAFILL features a touch screen graphical user interface for simplistic programming of repeat dispenses, variable volume dispenses and custom programming. Users can easily alternate between 8 and 16 channel dispensing cassettes for rapid filling of 6 to 1536 well plates. The addition of the stacker allows the utilization of 25 and 50 plate chimneys for filling bulk quantities of both non-lidded and lidded plates.
Bulk Reagent Dispensing
A choice of dispensing cassettes with different bore sizes allow for accurate and rapid reagent addition between 0.5μL and 10mL into 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 384 and 1536 well plates. A 16 channel dispensing cassette is available to make the filling of 384 or 1536 well plates even more efficient. All dispensing cassettes are pre-sterilized and can be autoclaved for multiple usages.
Easy To Use Touch Screen Interface
The VIAFILL is the first reagent dispenser which includes a color touch screen user interface and was designed to enable intuitive navigation of the instrument thus reducing the learning curve. The user interface allows users to quickly edit predefined programs and to create, store, name and recall up to 99 individual liquid handling programs. Additional functionality includes connecting to the plate stacker, recovering reagent from the dispensing cassettes and shaking well plates on the plate deck.
Additional Plate Stacker
The addition of a plate stacker increases throughput and allows for unattended operation. Well plates are conveniently stored in the plate stacker using removable chimneys designed for either 25 or 50 plates. The stacker is designed for standard or deep well plates of varying heights and is also compatible with many lidded plates.
