Hamilton MICROLAB STAR Automated Liquid Handler with Span-8 Arm, CO-RE Gripper, and Autoloader Barcode System
Product Description
The Hamilton MICROLAB STAR Liquid Handler is a modular automated liquid handling workstation engineered for precise, versatile pipetting applications essential in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and clinical research workflows. Equipped with an 8-channel Span-8 pipetting arm capable of handling volumes from 1 µL to 1000 µL per channel, it supports a broad range of sample preparation, PCR setup, NGS library preparation, high-throughput screening, ELISA, and proteomics workflows.
Key features include:
- CO-RE gripper system for automated movement and positioning of plates, tip racks, and sample tubes across the deck
- Integrated autoloader barcode scanning enabling sample tracking and workflow traceability critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines
- Compatibility with disposable pipette tips to reduce contamination risk and maintain assay integrity
- Modular deck with configurable carriers for plates, tips, and sample tubes, including optional additions such as thermal cyclers, cooling/heating, shaking, magnetic extraction, and vacuum stations
- User-friendly Venus software suite for programming complex assays with options for custom method development and assay optimization
This liquid handler is widely adopted in synthetic biology research, gene editing workflows, and molecular cloning due to its high precision and reproducibility ensured by air displacement technology. The system undergoes rigorous pre-shipment preventive maintenance, calibration, and performance verification, including Artel MVS volume verification, making it reliable for demanding laboratory environments.
Additional capabilities:
- Plate-to-plate, reservoir-to-plate, and tube-to-plate automated transfers
- Optional extension of warranty, onsite setup, and operator training services available
- Scalable architecture supports integration of 96-channel 1000 µL dispensing heads for increased throughput in bioprocessing and biomarker research
This workstation supports critical applications in bioprocessing, biomanufacturing, and clinical diagnostics, providing a sustainable automated solution by repurposing pre-owned equipment to reduce environmental impact.
Ideal for researchers and laboratory managers seeking a precision liquid handling system optimized for complex automated pipetting tasks in the life sciences and biotechnology sectors.
