All-in-One Pipetting. Ready to Integrate.
Hamilton’s ZEUS Self-Contained Pipetting Module brings intelligent air-displacement technology, integrated Z-axis movement, and real-time monitoring into one powerful solution—ideal for seamless OEM integration in your instrument.
The ZEUS Self-Contained Pipetting Module is Hamilton's high-performance solution for OEM integration. Designed for seamless onboarding into lab instruments, ZEUS performs precision pipetting from 1 μL to 1 mL with disposable CO-RE™ (compressed O-ring expansion) tips, eliminating carry-over and reducing contamination risks. The module includes integrated Z-axis movement, liquid class recognition, real-time pipette monitoring, and intelligent error handling—all packed in a compact, ready-to-use design.
Common applications Analytical Chemistry, Dilutions and Dispensing
Featured Technologies
-
Liquid Handling TechnologyAnti-Droplet Control (ADC)
For Drip-Free Pipetting
Pressure sensors on Hamilton’s pipetting channels continuously detect variations. Any changes are immediately compensated for by dosing drive movements to prevent droplet formation. Essential for high-precision and accuracy when pipetting volatile liquids like ethanol and acetonitrile.
-
Liquid Handling TechnologyDual Liquid Level Detection (LLD)
For Accurate Aspirations
Dual LLD uses two sensors on each liquid handling pipetting channel. A capacitance sensor detects aqueous and conductive liquid surfaces while a pressure-based sensor works with non-conductive, viscous, and volatile liquids. Together, they ensure highly accurate and reliable liquid handling performance.
Modular. Accurate. Intuitive.
Accurately detect liquid surfaces or fragile foil seals—automatically—with no manual calibration, ensuring exact positioning and protecting sample integrity.
Disposable CO-RE™ tips isolate your sample from the pipetting mechanism, ensuring clean results every time.
Choose from straight, folded, or right-angle Z-axis configurations to perfectly match the mechanical constraints and workflow of your system.
Coordinate pipette and Z-axis movements effortlessly using predefined liquid classes for greater consistency, reduced programming time, and minimized human error.
Beyond Pipetting
1
Z-Axis Motion Included
