Prepare yourself for NGS ? Get a Hamilton NGS Workstation or turn your existing instrument into one
Hamilton offers several different workstations for NGS workflows. These workstations are readily configured, fully programmed and fully equipped Hamilton liquid handlers that offer true plug and play functionality for the intended NGS workflow. On very short notice the user will have a validated system available which fulfills a lot of laborious NGS-related liquid handling tasks in the lab.
Currently available NGS Workstations are
– Illumina NGS Worksation
– NEB NGS Workstation
– Nimbus NGS Workstation
– REMe STARlet
Existing Hamilton customers can turn their existing STAR or STARlet into a NGS workstation by taking advantage of one of the NGS Upgrade packages available. These packages contain every item from the workstations but the liquid handling platform.
In the past few weeks Hamilton has successfully installed NGS Upgrade packages on existing instruments. Customers are excited about this elegant way to transfer their proven instrument into a new technology era.
