What are the features of the Microlab 600?

The Microlab 600 features both highly accurate & precise liquid dispensing down to the 50 nL range, through a highly chemical resistance fluid pathway. To ensure the highest accuracy and precision available, we offer N.I.S.T. traceable calibrations for the syringe drives. Our Advanced Software features administrative access controls, 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance with usage logging, and fully customizable liquid handling protocols all in a variety of supported language formats.

Hamilton Microlab 600 | Semi-Automated Dilution & Dispensing

Q: How does semi-automated dilution and dispensing improve efficiency?

A single lab technician using an ML600 requires only a button press on the hand probe to accurately collect specified amounts of sample. With the press of the button the collected sample is dispensed into the desired container, which can be immediately followed by a specified amount of diluent. Manual measurement tools, the time it takes to properly use them, and unavoidable human error attributed to the manual tools are completely eliminated.

Semi-Automated Dilution and Dispensing

Dilute • Dispense • Pipette • Aliquot • Titrate • Serial Dispense

With unmatched versatility, the Microlab 600 is designed to increase the throughput and repeatability of any manual pipetting application. Have confidence in your semi-automated diluting and dispensing processes with 99%+ accuracy and a highly inert fluid path for even the most sensitive techniques.

How Does Semi-Automated Dilution and Dispensing Improve Efficiency?

Streamline Sample and Standards Prep

Sample testing labs can’t grow their business without increasing throughput and lowering per-sample costs. Labs that have turned to Hamilton’s semi-automated dilution and dispensing platforms are eliminating costly re-sampling expenses and reducing sample prep time by as much as 50 percent. Microlab 600 brings consistency that is not reliant on technique or operator. In addition, precision syringes help achieve unrivaled accuracy.

Features of the Microlab 600 Diluter Dispenser

Accuracy and Precision

The Microlab 600 is a diluting and dispensing system based on Hamilton’s precision syringes. The positive displacement system provides better than 99% accuracy, independent of a liquid's viscosity, vapor pressure, and temperature.

Compliance and Logging

Hamilton Company introduces the newest feature of the Microlab 600 Advanced – a comprehensive compliance package. This free software update provides a variety of security protections, simplifies adherence to FDA GXP regulations, ability to administer user accounts and passwords, create log files that conform to 21 CFR Part 11, and manage log files on a PC using the LyncStore application.

Process Security

The Microlab 600 automates the pipetting process. Methods established by a lab manager are stored in the controller and are consistently run by all technicians. Eliminate volume adjustment mistakes, variability in technique, and simplify compliance with EPA, FDA (GLP, GMP), and ISO regulations.

Chemically Inert

The fluid path for the Microlab 600 is made of borosilicate glass, FEP, PTFE, and CTFE, which are resistant to harsh chemicals used in the laboratory. These high quality materials minimize the potential for the leaching of metals or other contaminates that can be detected by downstream processes.

Language Support

The Microlab 600 now features language support for English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Korean, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.

Instrument Calibration

The Microlab 600 is shipped with a calibration certificate traceable to N.I.S.T. standards. Between calibrations the syringe drives and valve motors are monitored by optical encoders ensuring that every dispense is completed accurately and precisely.

Microlab 600 Hardware

Controller

The Microlab 600 controller features a large, easy-to-use touchscreen. A dedicated host USB port enables connection to a keyboard, mouse, printer, and barcode reader. The Controller can come with either basic or advanced software. Upgrading from basic to advanced is as simple as plugging in an SD card.

Syringe Pump

The pump unit is the heart of the Microlab 600. The Microlab 600 is available as a single or dual syringe system. The pump unit contains a precision drive motor, the syringe drive mechanism, the valve assembly, syringe selection button, prime button, power button, and hand probe receptacles.
