The Microlab STAR Line of workstations uses air displacement pipetting and the unique CO-RE system for forceless tip pickup and ejection. Due to the modular design, changes and upgrades to existing configurations are easy.

• Automated intelligence with Hamilton’s air-based advanced pipetting features
• Reduced risk of contamination for critical assays due to the combination with disposable tips
• Less maintenance required due to no system liquid, diluters, valves or tubing
• No dilution effect of samples

The scalability of STAR Line instruments means that the widest possible range of throughputs and budgets can be accommodated: Additional pipetting channels, a CO-RE 96, 384 Probe Head or an iSWAP plate handling arm can be fitted to existing configurations.
