Researchers at NOMAD Bioscience GmbH, a German R&D firm specializing in plant biotechnology, are benefiting from the outstanding liquid dealing with capabilities of INTEGRA’s VOYAGER adjustable tip spacing pipette for the preparation and shelling out of media and gels.

Analysis scientist Birgit Koch defined how she makes use of the VOYAGER in her work:
My analysis is concentrated on molecular cloning, to generate plant virus-based expression vectors which can be transferred utilizing agrobacteria into the host crops, and exercise testing of the antimicrobial bacteriocins produced through transient transformation. The preparation and shelling out of samples, media and gels are on a regular basis duties within the lab, and that is the place we profit from the VOYAGER.”
The VOYAGER’s skill to routinely regulate the tip spacing on the press of a button was our essential cause for selecting it. The digital pipette permits the NOMAD group to effectively pipette volumes between 5 and 125 µl for as much as eight channels concurrently, decreasing the variety of switch steps required. Antimicrobial exercise testing is the place the VOYAGER has helped probably the most, to lower the switch steps. We do a ‘spot-on-lawn’ assay the place we pipette drops of our peptide options onto micro organism grown on agar gel in sq. petri dishes (12 x 12 cm) and, if the micro organism are killed, then we all know our bacteriocins are energetic. We additionally do it the opposite means round, pipetting micro organism onto an agar containing the bacteriocin, to see whether or not or not they develop. I used to work rather a lot with guide single and multichannel pipettes, and it might take me 40 minutes to complete a plate for an exercise assay. Now, with the VOYAGER, I’m accomplished inside 10 minutes!”
