NGS STARlet - Automated NGS Library Preparation
The NGS STARlet is a compact, flexible and future-proof workstation for library preparation for all common sequencing platforms. It is excellently suited for any throughput from 8 to 48 samples and reduces time consuming manual pipetting steps and sample-to-sample variability. The open workstation concept allows automation of any library preparation chemistry.
Lab design
I've used Hamilton Company products for 25 years and am an end-user, application developer, and consultant. The VENUS software is easy to use. Useful to master. And fun to do complicated things with. Hardware reliability is superb.
