- Pipetting Technology: CO-RE II Tip/Tool Attachment: The Key to Liquid Handling Workflow Excellence. The new CO-RE II technology assures more precise tip alignment, minimizing the risk of collisions. Also, tip coupling is faster which boosts productivity. Besides tips, a wide range of Hamilton tools are applicable with CO-RE II.
- Transport Solutions: CO-RE Gripper For Additional Movements: Further streamline automated workflows with CO-RE Grippers. These agile grippers transform Hamilton’s precision pipette channels into on-deck labware transport solutions on Hamilton automated liquid handlers.
- Software: Graphical User Interface For Easy Operation: The intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) makes operation as simple as a smartphone app. Get started developing, editing, and running protocols without the need for automation or coding expertise.
- Machine Vision: Labware Detection and Verification For Fast Protocol Development: A camera mounted on top of the workstation detects and identifies labware placed on the deck. This visual recognition simplifies the process of programming new protocols by eliminating the need to scroll through long lists of options. It also ensures accurate verification of labware during protocol execution, helping to prevent loading errors.
Simple, but Powerful Automation Software
Automation software doesn’t need to be complicated or difficult to use. With the Microlab Prep automated liquid handler, programming is easier than ever. The system features a touchscreen with a graphical user interface that can design and run protocols with only a few taps.
