Hamilton MICROLAB STAR Automated Liquid Handler with Span-8 Arm, CO-RE 96-Channel 1000 µL Head, Gripper, and Barcode Autoloader
Product Description
The Hamilton MICROLAB STAR is a precision-engineered automated liquid handling workstation designed for high-throughput biotechnological and molecular biology applications. This model is equipped with a Span-8 8-channel pipetting arm capable of handling volumes from 1 µL to 1000 µL per channel, and a CO-RE 96-channel 1000 µL dispensing head for rapid plate-to-plate and reservoir-to-plate transfers. The CO-RE Gripper enables automated movement of labware including plates and tip racks across the deck, while the integrated Autoloader barcode system provides robust sample tracking critical in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows.
Key technical features include:
- Span-8 pipetting arm: Flexible 8-channel transfer for precise low- to mid-volume pipetting, essential for PCR setup, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and cell-based assays.
- CO-RE 96-channel head: High-throughput dispensing head designed for uniform liquid transfer up to 1000 µL, widely used in genomics, proteomics, and synthetic biology research.
- Automated gripper system: Facilitates automated plate handling, reducing manual intervention and contamination risks in biomanufacturing pipelines.
- Autoloader with barcode scanning: Enables sample traceability and efficient workflow management, crucial for molecular cloning and biomarker research.
- Modular deck configuration: Supports extensions like shaking, cooling/heating positions, magnetic/vacuum extraction, and integration with thermal cyclers and plate sealers.
- Software control via Venus application: User-friendly interface for programming complex assays, method development, and precise volume control using air displacement technology.
This system is widely adopted in biotechnology labs for applications including sample preparation, ELISA, protein purification, drug discovery, and high-throughput screening. Its precision, versatility, and scalability make it critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and essential for molecular cloning workflows.
Service and support highlights:
- Delivered with a comprehensive 120-day US warranty (60 days international) and optional extension to one year.
- Includes preventive maintenance, stress testing of robotic axes, and Artel volume verification services.
- Optional onsite setup, training, assay development consulting, and instrument programming enhance integration into complex synthetic biology workflows.
- Compatible with a range of Hamilton consumables and validated for disposable tip use.
Shipping and packaging:
- Securely packed in ISPM-15 certified wooden crates with shock and tilt indicators to ensure safe global transport.
- Experienced vendor for universities, biopharma companies, and clinical research facilities with options for freight and air parcel shipping.
By choosing this pre-owned Hamilton MICROLAB STAR system, laboratories enhance sustainability by reducing electronic waste and resource consumption associated with manufacturing new equipment.
This liquid handling platform is an advanced solution for researchers and laboratory professionals requiring automated, accurate, and reliable pipetting for complex molecular diagnostics, gene editing, synthetic biology protocols, and bioprocessing workflows.
