Automated liquid handling robots (a class of devices that can include automated pipetting systems as well as microplate washers) dispense and sample liquids in tubes or wells and are often integrated as automated injection modules as the front end of liquid chromatographic systems. These critical labor saving devices offer precision sample preparation for high throughput screening/sequencing (HTC), liquid or powder weighing, sample preparation, and bio-assays of many kinds. The automated pipetting systems handle volumes ranging from .5 ul to 5 L. These units may have built in components in order to feed samples into heating and cooling systems for thermal cycling or shaking systems depending on the target application, or are physically constructed for easy integration with peripheral labware. Liquid handlers with robotic arms allow the user to program the devices to manipulate external labware to extend the systems uses. Other desirable features include programs to control start/stop functions and to choreograph sequential steps necessary for chemical and biochemical assays and for injection options.

ASSIST offers unparalleled pipetting ergonomics. By attaching a VIAFLO electronic pipette to ASSIST, the pipette’s protocols can be performed automatically. It reduces manual pipetting to the minimum, relieving lab personnel from repetitive motions that may cause repetitive stress injuries.
Manual pipetting requires practice to achieve reproducible pipetting results. Typical parameters influencing the performance are tip immersion depth and pipetting angle. The automated pipetting capability of ASSIST ensures these parameters are always the same, resulting in an increased reproducibility.
The communication between pipette and ASSIST is established via Bluetooth. The convenient set up and easy to use user interface enable VIAFLO pipettes to be used for both automated pipetting, in combination with ASSIST, and for standard manual pipetting.
With the smart pipette adapter, all VIAFLO multichannel pipettes (8-, 12- and 16-channels) can be attached, covering a volume range of 0.5-1250 µl. To satisfy different application requirements, plates from 6-wells to 384-wells can be used in portrait and landscape format.
Special features:
- Best ergonomics - Automates multichannel pipettes to reduce the strain of manual pipetting
- Increased reproducibility - Eliminates pipetting variability. The tip immersion depth and angle are always the same
- Wide range of applications using 8-, 12- and 16-channel VIAFLO pipettes of 0.5-1250 µl
- Affordable - Very favourable price compared with other automated instruments

The MEDIAJET media filling system offers the unique flexibility to fill Petri dishes as well as test tubes of various sizes.
The compact MEDIAJET provides truly reliable, walk-away operation. The dish guidance system is monitored throughout the MEDIAJET – reliable walk-away media dispensing system
The MEDIAJET media filling system offers the unique flexibility to fill Petri dishes as well as test tubes of various sizes.
The compact MEDIAJET provides truly reliable, walk-away operation. The dish guidance system is monitored throughout the filling process. Operational downtime due to 'dish jams' resulting from variations of the Petri dishes is completely eliminated. The MEDIAJET can be converted easily from filling 90 mm dishes to fill 60 mm or 35 mm dishes. Furthermore, the MEDIAJET includes a shaker mode for facilitating pour plate applications. The MEDIAJET is the perfect complementation to the MEDIACLAVE media preparator.
The TUBEFILLER option is the perfect expansion to the functionality of MEDIAJET, as it allows the conversion into a test tube filler in just a minute for the continuous processing of various test tubes.
Special features:
- Controlled dish guidance for reliable walk-away operation
- Fast Petri dish processing for filling up to 900 plates per hour
- Processing of various dish sizes (90, 60 or 35 mm) and dish heights
- Biplate option for filling two-compartment Petri dishes
- Shaker mode for pour plate applications
- TUBEFILLER option for the filling of up to 1000 test tubes in one hour
