Hamilton Microlab STAR CAP HEPA Filtration Hood for Contamination-Controlled Laboratory Workflows

The Hamilton Microlab STAR CAP Hepa Filtration Hood is a specialized laminar flow enclosure designed to provide ISO 5 clean air across the deck surface of Hamilton liquid handler systems, including STAR, STARlet, and some VANTAGE configurations. This HEPA filtration hood integrates a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter capable of removing 99.99% of particles ≥0.3 µm, delivering contamination-controlled airflow critical for sensitive applications such as PCR sample preparation, microbiology workflows, next-generation sequencing (NGS) library setup, and cell culture handling.

Key technical specifications include:

The hood is widely adopted in molecular biology and biotechnology labs where contamination control is essential for molecular cloning workflows, bioprocessing sample preparation, and NGS applications. Its compact design and customizable filter options support diverse research demands in clinical diagnostics and biomanufacturing. The positive pressure airflow design minimizes contamination risks during critical cell culture and microbial sample processing, making it a reliable workstation accessory for biomedical engineering and synthetic biology research.

Each unit undergoes rigorous in-house testing and servicing to confirm operational readiness, including verification of HEPA filtration efficiency, stable positive pressure airflow, and responsive touchscreen controls. The product is supplied with a warranty covering parts and labor and supported by knowledgeable technical sales consultations and after-sales service.

This HEPA filtration hood is an essential clean air solution for laboratories requiring contamination-controlled environments integrated with automated liquid handling, ensuring high-quality results in gene editing, molecular diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
