Overview:
The Long String STAR V from Hamilton Company is designed to automate the extraction and processing of ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) DNA required for advanced genomic applications. It simplifies a typically delicate and labor-intensive process by ensuring gentle handling of long DNA strands while maintaining their integrity. Built on the Microlab STAR V platform, the system combines precise liquid handling with specialized magnetic disk-based processing to enable consistent and reproducible results. It supports end-to-end workflow automation, reducing manual effort and improving reliability, especially in workflows where preserving DNA length is critical.
