Nanopipetting on Star line workstations
With the Nanodispenser module, Hamilton offers a new extension for the Star workstation that allows nanolitre and microlitre pipetting to be performed on the same instrument
Users also get all additional equipment, including a platewasher, an incubator for up to 20 plates, and a photometer for results read-out.
Integrated in a compact system, the Elisa Starlet is equipped with an auto-load system that offers increased process safety and allows barcode tracking of samples.
Elisa Starlet also offers eight individual, independently spreadable pipetting channels for optimized access to different labware like sample tubes and Elisa plates.
An internal robotic hand also carries out all plate transports from the pipetting position to the incubators, the platewasher and the reader.
The Starlet incubator has a capacity for up to 20 plates in four different, independently temperature controlled towers.
Independent channels for aspiration and dispense with liquid level detection on the platewashing module minimises the risk of contamination.
The photometer uses robust LED technology and offers a wavelength range from 340 to 750nm.
Users can choose from all Star line labware and accessories to set up a perfect fit for their needs, including plate/tip stacking modules, needles with needle wash station and the intelligent Co-Re tools like gripper and lid-tool.
The dynamic scheduling package of the Hamilton Velisa software ensures optimal resource working-load and allows processing of up to ten standard Elisa testplates in seven hours.
