Application Area:

In vitro adme assay

Great customer service. When we have problems with our programs, they immediately follow up. The software is a bit hard to use.

Review Date: 27 Jan 2020 | Hamilton Robotics

Method portability from Star makes this a poor investment for current Hamilton users.

 

Average Rating 1.7

Application Area:

Drug metabolism screen

We bought the vantage system to handle our high throughput screening for DMPK. Our first delivery, the instrument was broken during shipping from Nevada. It took several months to replace. Then the second one came, the programmer left the company and it took several months for the replacement to finish the methods. In addition, the software was not user-friendly at all, It has been 1 year since our purchase, after so many issues here and there, we finally have all the programs up in running.

It has an easy programming user interface with good network communicated function. It is easy to call other applications for sample preparation. Hamilton's service engineers have always responded quickly when a request has been submitted. They do their best to get the system back to production.

DNA Extraction

The Hamilton Vantage is a top-of-the-line machine, and as such it has a lot of advantages. Some of them being: user-friendly interface for programming a run of choice, high throughput system with customizable pipetting, deck space and waste management of tips and liquids. These are all new and improved.

Precision Pipetting

The Microlab VANTAGE 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.

Modular Architecture

The convenience of a modular architecture means that users can conveniently select modules specific to their application and upgrade at any time as their needs evolve.

  • Pipettor: Customize the number of pipetting arms, channels, and transport options
  • Logistics Cabinet: Storage, waste, device integration, Entry/Exit below-deck transport space
  • Track Gripper: Transportation between the Pipettor and Logistics Cabinet as well as third-party instruments
  • Rear Integration Cabinet: Extensive storage and device integration space

Integrated Tools and Accessories

With a flexible deck layout, the Microlab VANTAGE accommodates a broad range of tools and accessories to further enhance assay flexibility.

  • Internal Plate Gripper (IPG)
  • Hamilton Heater Shaker (HHS)
  • [MPE]2 positive pressure module
  • Much more

Powerfully Optimized Software
Microlab VANTAGE’s powerful software, INSTINCT V, allows users to design and optimize assays and workflows from simple to complex without compromising requirements. Users may choose between an intuitive drag-and-drop interface or text-based programming to suit personal preference. Preview simulations at user-selected speeds, and schedule activities for maximum system and workflow efficiency.

Confidence through Sample Tracking

The Microlab VANTAGE uses barcode scanners to track samples in labware, and tracking information may be exported for detailed history reports.

Protecting Users and Data

The Microlab VANTAGE enclosed housing uses sensor-controlled door locks to prevent user injuries and safeguard samples from environmental contaminants. Software is 21 CFR part 11 compliant to prevent data manipulation and loss.
