Automated liquid handling

The Hamilton range of semi-automated Microlab dispensers offers simple, reliable and precise fluid measurement for aspiration, dilution and dispensing.

The systems feature a large display for ease of programming and storage for a large number of methods, making them suitable for micro-user laboratories. A printer option ensures that the systems comply with GLP, FDA or ISO requirements.

Various models are available offering different syringe sizes and dispensing capabilities ranging from 1 to 25,000 µL and different systems allow different syringe speeds to cope with differing solution viscosities.

Dilution methods available within the 500 system include one-step dilutions, serial dilutions (eg, 1/10, 1/25, 1/50, 1/100), tube-to-tube serial dilutions, multiple reagent dilution for internal standard preparation and reagent return to reservoir to simplify reagent changing with minimal loss.

Dispensing methods include simple dispensing, aliquot dispensing, pipetting, titrating and reagent dilution.
