  • Application Area:Various liquid handling

"Who needs Marvel heroes? Who needs a Fantastic Four when all you need is only one? The Hamilton MICROLAB Starlet I found to be a trustworthy can-do-it-all. When in need of a new liquid handler a Starlet would be the first I would consider. "

"The after sales care has been excellent. Writing the methods does require more advance programming skills compared to competing liquid handling systems; such as those from Beckman."

  • Application Area:Bioanalytical sample prep

"The instrument works great! I believe the biggest challenge for me was learning to effectively program it for our needs. I think offering more programming classes and user meetings would be useful."

  • Application Area:DNA Isolation

"The pipetting accuracy is phenomenal! The software that programs the robot can be a bit difficult to use. Be careful not to make a mistake as there is no 'undo' button. Further integration with a 3rd party software would be better."
