MassXtract STARlet
Mass Spectrometry Simplified
Streamline your mass spectrometry sample preparation workflows with Hamilton’s MassXtract STARlet Assay Ready Workstation. MassXtract combines Hamilton’s high-throughput pipetting, powerful software, and integrated technologies to create a fully automated solution for both protein precipitation and solid-phase extraction workflows. Packed into the STARlet’s small footprint, the system maximizes valuable bench space while delivering consistent and accurate results.
It Starts with the Software
The workstation is powered by Hamilton’s VENUS Software, offering a user-friendly interface, simple programming, and remote monitoring capabilities. A specialized framework is tailored specifically for the platform, accelerating method development.
Convenient and Compact
MassXtract fully automates solid-phase extraction and protein precipitation workflows in the compact STARlet platform, conserving valuable benchtop room for laboratories with space constraints. Labware flexibility empowers you to customize the number of plates, tips, and reservoir positions using multiflex base plates. Additionally, a front-facing tip waste area offers easy access and further elevating efficiency.
On-Deck Innovation
Hamilton’s Assay Ready Workstations come fully equipped with our cutting-edge integrated technologies. MassXtract can be tailored to automate both solid-phase extraction and protein precipitation mass spectrometry sample preparation workflows.
- 1 Centrifuge
- An enclosed centrifuge for protein precipitation workflows. Reaches a maximum g-force of 2000 x g.
- 2 [MPE]2
- Automate solid phase extraction workflows with positive pressure and optional evaporation and reagent dispensing modules.
- 3 Hamilton Heater Shaker (HHS)
