Hamilton MICROLAB STAR Automated Liquid Handling Workstation with Span-8 Arm and CO-RE 384-Channel Head

The Hamilton MICROLAB STAR Liquid Handler is a highly versatile automated liquid handling workstation designed for precision and reproducibility in complex laboratory pipetting tasks. Equipped with a Span-8 eight-channel pipetting arm capable of volumes from 1 µL up to 1000 µL per channel and a CO-RE 384-channel head facilitating rapid multichannel dispensing volumes from 0.1 µL to 50 µL, this system enables efficient sample transfers across plates, reservoirs, and tubes. The CO-RE Gripper provides reliable plate and tip rack movement on the deck, ensuring seamless automation.

Key technical features include:

The workstation is widely adopted across biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, genomics, proteomics, and bioprocessing environments. It supports workflows such as PCR setup, next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation, cell culture assays, ELISA, protein crystallization, drug discovery, and biomarker research. Reliability and accuracy from air displacement technology combined with modular hardware make the MICROLAB STAR essential for automating biomanufacturing pipelines and synthetic biology research requiring stringent liquid handling precision.

This instrument undergoes comprehensive preventive maintenance, stress testing of robotic axes, Pipetting verification (Artel MVS), and deck calibration prior to shipment. Optional services include on-site setup, operator training, extended warranty, and method development consulting. The system ships fully configured with computer, monitor, keyboard, and required cabling, and is compatible with a range of OEM consumables optimized for reducing cross-contamination and ensuring repeatability.

Pre-owned MICROLAB STAR units offer sustainable, cost-effective automation solutions suited for academic, clinical, and industrial research laboratories. The robust design ensures scalable operation, accommodating expanding biotechnological assay complexities and high-throughput demands.
