New Axygen Automation Tips for Hamilton Microlab STAR line and Nimbus

15 May 2012

Product news

Corning Life Sciences has announced the release of a full line of conductive liquid level sensing tips in 4 sizes - 10 μL, 50 μL, 300 μL and 1000 μL - to accommodate any scientist’s application.

The tips are packaged in both hanging tip rack or “frame” style as well as in traditional deck-seating racks and nested/stacked tip racks. As with all Axygen robotic tips, they are manufactured to stringent specifications under strict process controls and assembled via automation to ensure consistent performance and quality. Hanging tip rack format products are compatible with Hamilton MICROLAB® STAR, STARlet and STARplus workstations, and products in deck-seating rack are also compatible with Hamilton Nimbus workstations*.

Features and Benefits:

• A broad line of tip sizes and styles
• Unique product choices
• Tips engineered to function optimally with no hardware or software adjustments
• In-house engineering and mold-building/maintenance ensures quality products and a quick customer response
• Robust QC system and ISO certification ensures consistent quality and performance
• All tips are customer-validated prior to release ensuring advertised compatibility.

96 well format Hamilton - compatible tips are offered in 3 formats: Wafer format, NTR Rack, and Nested 4 Stack.

Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput. Find the best microplate readers in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Robotic InstrumentsRobotic instruments can be used for high-throughput automation of many lab processes. Such processes use instruments for assays like cell based assays and ELISA, for sample preparation like shakers, centrifuges and incubators, and for analysis such as sequencing and western blot analyzers. Useful features of robotic instruments include speed, reproducibility, barcode readers, software and automation.Robotic WorkstationsRobotic workstations are automated platforms enabling the user to perform high-throughput, multi-application processes, from sample preparation tasks such as PCR set-up, DNA purification and NGS library preparation, to integrated sample prep and analysis workstations. Automation makes processes consistent, fast, precise and fully walk-away.

Useful automation accessories include microplate sealers, label printers and reagent reservoirs.Plate ProcessingAutomated plate processing is used in microplate technologies for high-throughput, speed and efficiency. Plate processing systems include microplate handlers for moving plates, heat sealers, stackers and carousels for storage, retrieval and delivery, microplate washers and piercers. Useful features of plate processors include walk-away automation, compatibility and easy integration with microplate systems.Automated Liquid HandlingAutomated liquid handling equipment is used to mix, dilute and dispense allotted volumes of liquid into microplates and other vessels automatically. The robotic, liquid handling arms can dispense from single channel to 3456 multichannel as well as operate nanoliter dispensing, enabling high throughput of samples.
