Join Hamilton Robotics at Booth #4907 during the 69th Annual AACC Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo from July 30 – August 3 in San Diego, CA, to learn how Hamilton’s automated platforms can maximize sample throughput and ease workflows in the clinical chemistry environment.

Hamilton’s Microlab® VANTAGE Liquid Handling System®and Microlab STAR™ Line and Microlab NIMBUS® automated liquid handling platforms will be featured at the Clinical Expo. The platforms range in scope from small-footprint, affordable, entry-level pipettors to complex, multi-integrated logistically-efficient workstations and include patented pipetting technology to provide reliability and efficiency for workflow processes. Additionally, Hamilton collaborates with top assay chemistry leaders to provide compact, pre-packaged automated solutions for a variety of full assay workflows.

One such collaboration combines high-quality microbiomics technologies from Zymo Research Corporation with the high-throughput expertise of Hamilton Robotics. After attending the symposia titled, “President’s Invited Session: The Microbiome in Health and Disease” to learn about the impact of this cutting-edge area of healthcare, come to Hamilton’s booth to discuss practical examples of automating microbiomics workflows. This includes using Zymo’s ZymoBIOMICS-96 MagBead DNA Kit on the Microlab STAR liquid handling platform to automate magnetic bead-based DNA purification directly from a variety of sample types, including feces, swabs, saliva, body fluids and more.

Find Hamilton Robotics at Booth #4907 and learn how their automated platforms are expanding laboratory efficiencies and pushing the boundaries of personalized medicine.

Microlab VANTAGE

Hamilton

The High Throughput Powerhouse. With a modular architecture and spacious storage space for consumables and devices, the Microlab VANTAGE makes short work of long, intensive processes like high-throughput NGS library prep.
