This quick start guide is intended to provide a quick overview of your pipette’s key
features and to offer basic instructions for getting started. For detailed information,
please refer to the latest operating instructions that can be found at www.integra-
biosciences.com in different languages.
Intended Use
This is a general-purpose laboratory instrument for use in research only. VIAFLO/VOYAGER
Electronic Pipettes are used for aspirating and dispensing aqueous liquids in the volume range of
0.5 –5000 μl using GripTip™ pipette tips only, see www.integra-biosciences.com.
BatteryCharge
Charge the battery completely before first use.
The supply voltage must meet the requirements of the mains
adapter: 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.

Turnon:
Press and release RUN.
Turnoff:
Press and hold the Back button for 3 seconds.
Language Selection
From the Main Menu, use the Touch wheel to scroll to the Toolbox and press OK. Use the
“Language” option to select the desired language.
Attaching GripTips
Press the pipette into the GripTips of the appropriate sizeuntil you hear and feel a click indicating
that a seal has been achieved. When loading GripTips using a multichannel pipette, slowly rockthe
pipette from one side to the other side to ensure the proper seal is achieved.

Selectinga PipettingMode
With your electronic pipette, you have the choice of building protocols by selecting from a menu of
predefined programming modes, or you can create custom multi-stepped protocols.
Pipettingmode
Description
Pipet
Liquid transferswhen aspirate and dispense volumes are equal.
Repeat Dispense
Dispensemultiple aliquots of the samevolume.
Sample Dilute
Aspirate two liquids divided by an air gap, followed by dispense.
Pipet/Mix
Multiple mixing by aspiration and dispensing of defined volume.
Manual Pipet
Control the aspiration and dispensing up to the setvolume.
Reverse Pipet
Liquid transfersof viscous or high vapor pressure liquids.
Variable Dispense
Dispensemultiple aliquots of different volumes.
Multi Aspirate
Aspirate multiple aliquots of different volumes.
Sample Dilute/Mix
Aspirate two liquids divided by an air gap, followed by dispenseand mix.
Serial Dilution
Aspirate a transfer volume followed by dispense and mix sequences.
Custom
Allows to create and store of up to 40 multi-stepped pipetting protocols.
From the Main Menu, use the Touch wheel to scroll to your desired function-
based programming mode. Press OK to enter the mode and to start defining
parameters.
Setting/ChangingVariables
Scroll to Edit and
press OK.
A list of editable steps is
displayed.
Select a step and press OK.
Use the Touch wheel to set the
value and press OK.
Press to save your settings.
Pipette’s Toolbox
The Toolbox provides avariety of options, as setting personal preferences like the Touch wheel spin
sensitivity, calibration, computer connectivity and device information.
Running a Program
Insert the GripTips into the liquid to be transferred. Press andrelease RUN to
aspirate the volume selected in the first step (marked with a triangle on the
Run screen).
Your pipette will prompt you to press RUN at each successive step.

161951_V13_QSG_Electronic_Pipettes.docx 3/7
TwoStep Blowout
During aspiration, the piston of your electronic pipette moves up (1).
During dispensing, the piston returns to the initial position (0). During the last
dispenseof a program, it automatically moves further down (2) and blows the
remaining liquid from the tip (Blowout).
When the piston returns to the initial position (0), a small amount of air is
aspirated, provided the tip is no longer immersed in the liquid (Blowin).
Note: Manually delay the blowin by holding RUN pressedduring the last dispense. Removethe
tips from the vesseland release RUN to start blowin.
TipSpacing (VOYAGER only)
In eachpipetting mode,the available tip spacingpositons are displayed at the
bottom of the screen. The current position is highlighted.
At any program steppressor tomovethe tip position tothe next spacing.
To modify the tip spacingpositions go to the “Tip Spacing” menu, accessible
from the main menu of the pipette or within every pipetting mode.
Select the positions to be changed (First, Middle, Last) and press OK.Use
and to move the tips to the desired position, click OKand then Save .
Equipment Disposal
Electronic pipettes mustnot be disposed of with unsorted municipal waste.
Disposeof electronic pipettes in accordancewith the laws and regulations in your area
governing disposal of devices.
In certain regions and countries, e.g. in all EU memberstates,the distributor is obliged
to take back this product free of charge at the end of life. Please contact your local
