Software as Easy as a Phone App

The Microlab Prep software was designed to be as easy to use as a smartphone. You won’t need a specialty programming language to run a single protocol.

The Microlab Prep has new software and protocols. Contact our Trainers to learn more.

Design New Protocols

Design new protocols by tapping the steps you need from the software in the order you want. Once a protocol is created, easily save it as a favorite and use it again whenever you need.
The Microlab Prep allows you to monitor your workflow with live updates.

See Everything About Your Run

At runtime, see everything you need about your run on the software’s run screen, including the time remaining in your protocol, what action the Prep is performing, and what steps remain.
The ML Prep will alert you if there are any errors in the workflow.

Error Notifications

If any errors unfortunately occur, the Prep immediately notifies you and provides you the necessary actions to fix the problem and continue your run.

Camera-Identified Labware to Yield the Most Efficient Results

Hamilton has been helping innovate the journey of discovery since 1953, and that tradition of innovation is carried forward through the Microlab Prep. New to the Microlab product line, each Prep features a camera mounted to the top of the unit that detects and identifies labware to speed up the entire process. Innovative technology on the Microlab Prep has you covered from start to finish.

Identify Labware Faster

The Prep’s camera-identified labware feature eliminates the need to look through long lists of labware options to find what you need.

Use the Right Labware for the Run

The camera guards you against running a protocol with incorrect labware pieces or placement. The Prep immediately notifies you if there’s an error in the set-up and provides instructions on what needs to be changed.

Devices and Accessories for the Microlab Prep

The Prep supports a full line of devices and accessories to automate even more tasks.

A fantastic tool for automating areas of assays with high potential for analyst error.

The Microlab Prep is a fantastic tool for automating areas of assays with high potential for analyst error. Not only will the machine run portions of assays with 100% accuracy, it will allow analysts to work on other lab functions while the Microlab is operating, boosting our lab efficiency. The software makes programming assays simple.
