Automated liquid handler with Span-8 arm & CO-RE 384 head for precise pipetting in molecular diagnostics and biotech workflows.
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.

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.
We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.
We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
