Integra Biosciences is to showcase a range of its liquid handling and media preparation products at the Arab Health 2011 healthcare tradeshow and congress.
Visitors to Integra's stand will be able to see and discuss the company's complete range of handheld pipetting systems, offering accurate liquid handling from 0.5ul to 100ml.
The Pipetboy pipettor range is said to offer ease-of-use, reliability, good build quality, high performance and operational safety.
Each Pipetboy pipettor can be used with plastic or glass pipette with volumes of 1-100ml.
Offering accurate, high-productivity parallel pipetting from 0.5ul to 1,250ul, Voyager multi-channel pipettors are claimed to be ideal for applications including sample reformatting, PCR reaction set-up, Elisa sample transfers and Taqman assay set-up.
Using a proprietary motorised adjustable spacing mechanism, Voyager pipettors eliminate cross-contamination and ensure consistent, accurate and fast delivery of liquids, according to Integra.
The company will also display its Mediajet automated Petri dish filling systems at Arab Health 2011.
High-quality media for the cultivation of bacteria is at the core of numerous medical and microbiological laboratory applications.
As a consequence, many downstream tasks and results directly depend on ensuring a reliable and efficient process for preparing high-quality media.
Complementing the Mediaclave, which enables laboratories to prepare high-quality culture media, the reliability and walk-away automation provided by Mediajet is said to reduce operational downtime and labour costs associated with traditional Petri dish filling systems.
The capabilities of the Mediajet include high-throughput filling of Petri dishes of various sizes, Petri dishes with two compartments, test tubes and an integrated shaker function that provides a convenient solution for pour plate applications.
