Hamilton Extends Monitoring Technology to 96-Channel Pipetting Head

Hamilton Robotics introduces the TADM 96 Multi-Channel Pipetting Head, with aspiration and dispense monitoring technology in every channel. The new head is compatible with Hamilton’s MICROLAB® STARline of automated liquid handling platform and incorporates the company’s Total Aspiration and Dispense Monitoring (TADM) technology.

Air pressure sensors are built into each channel, which monitors pipetting based on Hamilton’s unique air displacement technology. TADM monitors the pipetting steps in real time and gives users the opportunity to immediately react to problems like empty samples, clots or foam. TADM verifies and documents with a traceable digital audit trail to confirm that a sample has been successfully transferred, which is useful in regulated environments.

“TADM technology for our independent pipetting channels has been well-received in the market and has an outstanding track record since its’ release over 5 years ago,” comments Rick Luedke, marketing manager for Hamilton Robotics.
