Overview:
The integrated devices from Hamilton Company are designed to add essential workflow steps directly onto automated liquid handling systems. These modules help laboratories go beyond pipetting by enabling multiple processes to be performed within a single automated platform. By bringing functions like sealing, centrifugation, detection, and sample tracking onto the deck, these devices reduce dependency on standalone instruments. This results in smoother workflows, better consistency, and improved lab efficiency. They are built to work seamlessly with Hamilton platforms, allowing users to expand system capabilities as their workflow requirements grow.
