Streamlined integration of pipetting with heating and shaking

Hamilton Robotics

Hamilton Robotics has introduced the MICROLAB NIMBUSHeater/Shaker Package, an integrated system that incorporates high-speedautomated pipetting with orbital plate shaking and heating. This preconfigured,turnkey package provides streamlined functionality for a variety ofapplications that require heat for solute mixing or shaking such as incolorimetric, fluorescent or luminescent bioassays, cell viability assays andmagnetic separations. The NIMBUS package includes device mounting hardware,optimized test methods, and a choice of either the new Hamilton Heater Shakermodule or one of several VARIOMAG Teleshake models. Pipetting can be donedirectly to microplates on the heater/shaker and plates can be transported toand from the device with an optional labware gripper. The integrated devicesare compatible with standard SBS microplate formats and provide accuratePeltier-based temperature control and orbital shaking with variable speedcontrol. Hamilton's VENUS ONE software controls the heating and shaking methodsteps and parameter settings. The NIMBUS Heater/Shaker Package is offered inthree configurations: shaking only, shaking and heating to 70ºC, or shaking andheating to 95ºC. All come with deck mounting hardware, control box, softwaredriver and test method.
