Microlab 600
Increase your accuracy and throughput
The Microlab 600 is built to fill the need between manual pipetting and full automation. Semi-automate common high precision liquid handling and sample preparation tasks, especially when leaching and inertness to harsh chemicals is of concern.
Dilution
Quickly perform analytical dilutions of standards and samples. Minimize reagent and labor costs.
Dispensing
Dispense systems for aliquotting, serial dispense, and titration. Or design your own custom method.
Industrial Automation
Design your own dispensing system. Control the Microlab 600 Syringe Pump with Ethernet or RS-232.
How does semi-automation improve my efficiency?
Streamline Sample and Standards Prep
Sample testing labs can’t grow their business unless they increase throughput and lower per-sample costs. Labs that have turned to Hamilton’s semi-automation platforms are eliminating costly re-sampling expenses and reducing sample prep time by as much as 50 percent.
Features of the Microlab 600
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 to EPA, FDA (GLP, GMP), and ISO regulations.
Chemically Inert
The fluid path for the Microlab 600 is made of borosilicate glass, PTFE, and CTFE, which are resistant to harsh chemicals used in the laboratory. These high quality materials minimize the potential for 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.

Why is my Microlab 600 controller screen not turning on?
If the controller screen is not turning on but the ready light is blinking, the power over ethernet (POE) has likely been turned off. This happens when the power button is held down. First, make sure that all power cords are plugged in. Then, with the unit powered off, press and hold the power button for 5-8 seconds or until the screen turns on. To prevent this from happening in the future, simply press and release the power button – do not hold it down.
