Features:

Color-coded status light at the front of instrument enables viewing of information such as progress of run

Interior light provides clearer viewing of deck

Modal Precision: x-y-z positional accuracy of 0.1 mm

Noise Level: < 65 dBA, < 46 dBA in standby mode (according to EN 27779)

Safety features and data management: Worklist Handling, Badge Number Tracking, Autoload with Tracking, Customizable Error

Recoveries, Labware Reporting, Intelligent Pipetting, Bi-Directional LIMS Integration, Status Light, 2D-Barcode Reading

Pipetting Technology:

Monitored air displacement detects clots or empty wells with real-time tracking; useful in pipetting volatile solvents

CO-RE II technology for improved tip attachment and precision, 15x life span, less wear and tear and lowers total cost of instrument ownership

Dual Liquid Level Detection (LLD) detection in two modes: capacitive for conductive liquids and pressure-based for all liquid types (foaming liquids, organic solvents and non-conductive)

Anti-Droplet Control (ADC) prevents inadvertent dripping by real-time detection and reaction to pressure changes from volatile organic solvents

Total Aspiration and Dispense Monitoring (TADM)

VENUS Software:

Intuitive user interface provides basic and advanced programming and enables users full control of methods

Power Steps enables easy assay set-up

Five visual guides for frequently used pipetting tasks: sample transfer, add reagent, serial dilution, replicates and hit picking

Color codes indicate type of tip used

Shows important parameters at a glance

Shows most common reason for errors to help save time and ensures smooth workflow

Ambient Conditions:

Processing time:

8 Pipetting Channels: Filling of one 96-well microplate with 100 μl sample (new tip for each sample) 320 seconds: Aliquot reagent to a 96-well microplate (<90 μl per well) 60 seconds

CO-RE 96 Probe Head: Replication of one 96-well microplate: 100 μl, new tips, with cLLD on Aspiration 35 seconds; Reformatting of four 96 well microplates to one 384-well microplate: 50 μl, new tips, with cLLD on aspiration 140 seconds

CO-RE 384 Probe Head:

Replication of one 384-well microplate: 20 μl, new tips, with cLLD on aspiration 35 seconds; Reformatting of 4 - 384 well microplates to one 1536-well microplate: 10 μl, new tips, with cLLD on aspiration 140 seconds

Options (sold separately):

Functional Modules:

Hamilton Heater Shaker for automated heating and shaking of ANSI/SLAS footprint microplates

Hamilton Heater Cooler for precise temperature control for ANSI/SLAS footprint microplates

Liquid Dispenser used for dispensing large quantities and/or aspirating liquid waste

Cooling Carrier cools samples (predefined temperature) and identifies barcodes via Autoload

Pipetting Channels:

Individual channels for independent movement and asymmetric spreading

Multi-Probe Heads: CO-RE 96- and 384-Multi-Probe Heads (MPH) for quick pipetting of 96 or 384-well plates, or partial plates

Additional Options (sold separately):

STARwatch service exclusively for STAR series models

Additional status light at the bottom of instrument
