Hamilton Robotics - STAR line
The STAR line workstations are based on superior air displacement pipetting technology for increased accuracy and repeatability.
Venus One is the newest software package for the STAR Line. It offers the most intuitive, flexible and powerful programming control. Venus offers all the tools to allow simple to complex programming, without limiting your imagination or compromising your requirements.
Data can be tracked and processed within the application as well as interfaces to internal and external databases, including LIMS. The STAR can serve as a simple pipettor for serial dilutions or act as the center of a large system with multiple workstations and third party devices such incubators, cell counters, centrifuges, etc.

Features of STAR line
Unique Scalability
Do you want to get started in automation with a benchtop workstation and have the option of expanding your system if needed? The compact STARlet can be converted on-site to a STARplus by means of an extension module, more than doubling your deck capacity. Thanks to the scalability of the STAR line instruments, the widest possible range of throughputs and budgets can be accommodated: additional pipetting channels, a 96 or 384-probe head or an integrated robotic arm can be fitted to existing configurations. It is even possible to add a second pipetting arm working in parallel.
