When processing samples in tubes, transfers are often performed manually with a single channel pipette. This is time consuming, error prone and draining for the operator. The ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot - in combination with a VOYAGER adjustable tip spacing pipette - provides a novel solution for accurate and efficent transfer of liquids to and from a variety of tube types. This unique pipetting robot provides all the benefits of the VOYAGER's adjustable tip spacing - reformatting samples from tube to plate up to 12 times faster compared to using a single channel pipette - as party of a walk-away, automated protocol.
