These benchtop systems fill the gap between standard handheld pipettes and fully automated liquid handling robots in terms of ease of use, productivity and affordability. In this article we discuss key features of 96- and 384-channel benchtop electronic pipettes and highlight how INTEGRA’s VIAFLO 96 system has provided a productive solution to a growing number of life science pipetting applications.
