The new and upgraded STAR M combines all of Hamilton’s superior and patented technologies in the most flexible and reliable liquid handling workstation. The completely flexible design offers unlimited expandability from addition of single pipetting tools to doubling the workspace when enhancing a STARlet M to STARplus M.
The option of 3rd party integrations on either side guarantees the maximum degree of flexibility to quickly adapt to new laboratory needs.
The Microlab STAR uses air displacement pipetting to achieve superior measurement accuracy. Additionally, Hamilton pipette channels and tips are designed to fit precisely together using a patented lock-and-key design called CO-RE (Compressed O-Ring Expansion). This creates a tight seal with precise tip alignment to eliminate tip distortion and ensure the highest accuracy during liquid handling steps. Optional anti-droplet control and liquid level detection technologies further safeguard sample and results integrity.
The Microlab STAR M comes as open and customizable platform or as predefined assay ready workstations designed to automate specific assays. These assay ready workstations iclude
