Powerful addition to an integrated system.
Liquid handling in integrated system
I am programming two Nimbus liquid handlers that are integrated into a large workstation running GBG. Because of the versatility of the Venus software platform, I can write very flexible, robust programs to do complicated processes, even though the instrument itself is compact and simple.

Assay Development
The Nimbus is very easy to use. Once you are familiar with the Venus software, it is straightforward to program. There is some limitation in application due to the limited pedestals, which does not exist on the STAR line of instruments. However, the liquid handling is exactly the same as the STAR instruments, ensuring good accuracy and precision.

It is automated, has a high throughput rate and has user-friendly software. I would highly recommend this to my colleagues for DNA extraction needs and DNA preparation.

Liquid Handling
This is a great liquid handler for 96 well plate applications. It takes some set up for the liquid classes but well worth it and lots of user control with easy to use control steps.
Review Date: 10 Feb 2014 | Hamilton Robotics
The system is good for small tubes. It has a small footprint that can easily fit into a hood. The software can be easily applied to many applications and is not difficult to use. The drawback of a small system is that it cannot be used for big containers or large glass vials. But this may be modified in future to be used for 3-10 mL vials.
Review Date: 14 Jan 2013 | Hamilton Robotics
Small footprint for easy integration into projects in a lab setting. The firmware development was a little behind in supporting all functionalities of the instrument. Great customer support for script development.

Precision Pipetting
The Microlab NIMBUS uses air displacement pipetting to achieve superior measurement accuracy. Additionally, Hamilton pipette channels and tips are designed to fit precisely together using a patented lock-and-key design called CO-RE (Compressed O-Ring Expansion). This creates a tight seal with precise tip alignment to eliminate tip distortion and ensure the highest accuracy during liquid handling steps. Optional anti-droplet control and liquid level detection technologies further safeguard sample and results integrity.
Integrated Tools and Accessories
With a flexible deck layout, the NIMBUS accommodates a broad range of tools and accessories to further enhance assay flexibility.
- Labware Gripper
- Clean Air Protection (CAP) System
- Hamilton Heater Shaker (HHS)
- Shift-N-Scan Tube Barcode Scanner
- [MPE]2 Positive Pressure Module
- Much more
Software for Any Process
The NIMBUS software allows users control their system for processes from simple to complex without compromising on requirements. NIMBUS software is completely integration friendly, easily allowing third party components to be added to the system without limiting functionality. Use the Method Editor to quickly create a method skeleton, with all possible actions in a toolbox for simple drag-and-drop programming.
Options for Every Assay and Budget
The Microlab NIMBUS provides users with multiple configurable base platforms to suit a variety of needs and budgets.
- NIMBUS4: Features up to four independent pipetting channels for superior performance and flexible pipetting in tubes and plates
- NIMBUS96: Features high-speed CO-RE 96 MP (Multi-Probe Head) for accurate, precise, and repeatable pipetting in 96- and 384-well plates in individual well, column row, and whole plate formats from 1–1000 µL
- NIMBUS384: Features high-speed CO-RE 384 MPH for accurate, precise, and repeatable pipetting in 96-, 384-, and 1536-well plates, in individual well, column, row, and whole plate formats from 0.5–50 µL
