Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Integra - Assist Plus base unit

The Assist Plus is a robotic liquid handler with the required specifications to meet quality management requirements, space, and workflow requirements within the lab. The use of electronic pipettes helps to increase through put in current laboratory workflows. However, prolonged manual pipetting takes up precious time, and can potentially lead to some hand discomfort. Ever-decreasing sample volume have also made it increasingly difficult to pipette without errors.

INTEGRA has developed the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot to streamline routine pipetting tasks at an affordable price. Using INTEGRA electronic multichannel pipettes or the D-ONE single channel pipetting module, this system automates repetitive tasks while eliminating physical strain, providing superior reproducibility, and ensuring error-free processing.
