Hamilton MICROLAB STAR Automated Liquid Handling System with Span-16 Arm, iSWAP Gripper & Autoloader
Product Description
The Hamilton MICROLAB STAR Liquid Handler is an advanced automated liquid handling workstation designed for high-precision, reproducible transfer volumes ranging from 1 to 1000 µL. Equipped with a versatile Span-16 pipetting arm, it enables simultaneous multichannel dispensing with independent channel control, essential for complex biotechnological workflows such as molecular cloning, NGS library prep, and qPCR setups.
Key features include:
- Span-16 Arm: 16-channel pipetting capable of 1–1000 µL volume transfers, configurable to 8 or 12 channels for flexible assay requirements.
- iSWAP Gripper: Dedicated robotic arm for automated transport and placement of labware including plates, tip racks, and reservoirs, facilitating hands-free workflow automation.
- Autoloader with Barcode Reader: Integrated sample and labware tracking with the Leuze stationary barcode reader enhances sample traceability and workflow management.
- Expandable Dispensing Head: Optional CO-RE 96-channel 1000 µL dispensing head supports high-throughput plate operations, accelerating plate-to-plate liquid transfers in biopharmaceutical and clinical diagnostic pipelines.
- Custom Configurable Deck: Supports various labware including microtiter plates (MTP), deep well plates (DWP), reservoirs, and tube carriers, adaptable to multiple assay formats in cell imaging, synthetic biology, and drug discovery applications.
- Software: Runs VENUS 4 Software with SoftMax Pro v7.0 driver, enabling flexible method programming, automated protocol development, and integration with external instruments such as plate sealers and thermal cyclers.
- Enhanced Workflow Efficiency: Simultaneous use of Span arm and optional 96-channel head improves throughput for bioprocessing environments, contributing to reliable molecular diagnostics and biomanufacturing workflows.
The system supports critical applications such as:
- PCR/qPCR reaction and NGS library preparation
- Sample aliquoting, serial dilutions, and standard curve setup
- ELISA and cell-based assay preparation
- DNA/RNA extraction and cleanup workflows with compatible kits
- Automated plate reformatting (e.g., 96 to 384 well conversions)
- Custom assay development and complex biotechnological protocol automation
Additional services include preventive maintenance, Artel volume verification, assay development consulting, instrument programming, installation, and training. The instrument is delivered brand new, sealed in original manufacturer packaging with the option for extended warranty and service plans for US customers.
Reliable and widely adopted among molecular biology researchers, this robotic liquid handler is critical for automation in synthetic biology research and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, ensuring accuracy, scalability, and integration into sophisticated laboratory environments.
