A complete solution for your ELISA assays - Proven technology and modularity with Hamilton Robotics ELISA STAR<sup>let</sup>

24 Jun 2007

Are you looking to economically automate your non IVD ELISA tests? HAMILTON Robotics now offers an ideal, powerful solution with the ELISA STARlet. This new benchtop system offers all parts necessary to perform ELISA assays in one secure housing.

ELISA STARlet comes with all the design features that the MICROLAB® STARlet can provide such as the central pipetting unit as well as all the other proven STAR line innovations like:

  • Monitored Air Displacement pipetting
  • CO-RE technology for tip/needle pick-up
  • Dual Liquid Level Detection

Users also get all additional equipment, including:

  • 1 platewasher
  • 1 incubator for up to 20 plates
  • 1 Photometer for results read-out

Integrated in a compact system, the ELISA STARlet is equipped with an auto-load system that offers increased process safety and allows barcode tracking of samples. ELISA STARlet also offers eight individual, independently spreadable pipetting channels for optimized access to different labware like sample tubes and ELISA plates. An internal robotic hand also carries out all plate transports from the pipetting position to the incubators, the platewasher and the reader.

The STARlet incubator has a capacity for up to 20 plates in 4 different, independently temperature controlled towers. Independent channels for aspiration and dispense with liquid level detection on the platewashing module minimizes the risk of contamination. The photometer uses robust LED technology and offers a wavelength range from 340 to 750nm. Users can choose from all STAR line labware and accessories to set up a perfect fit for their needs, including plate/tip stacking modules, needles with needle wash station and the intelligent CO-RE tools like CO-RE gripper and lid-tool.

The dynamic scheduling package of the HAMILTON VELISA software ensures optimal resource working-load and allows processing of up to 10 standard ELISA testplates in 7 hours.
