NIMBUS96
The Microlab NIMBUS is a compact, multi-channel automated liquid handler, offering speed, flexibility, ease-of-use and superior pipetting performance at a surprisingly affordable price.NIMBUS comes available in a highly configurable base platform:
? NIMBUS96: 96-channel multi-pipetting head (MPH)
Fantastic Introductory offers available. Contact Hamilton Robotics GmbH for more information: info.de@hamiltonrobotics.com
Integrated options, intuitive software and the backing of Hamilton?s renowned service and applications support makes the NIMBUS an indispensable tool for budget and space-constrained labs. Using proven air displacement pipetting, NIMBUS offers the same liquid handling performance as higher end systems, yet at a fraction of the price.
? high pipetting accuracy and precision
? low/medium throughput
? small footprint
? affordability
Instinct96 Software
INSTINCT96 features several tools to enhance the end-user experience:
? Labware Library ? a comprehensive menu of commercially available microplates, deep well plates, reagent troughs/tubs as well as the complete line of Hamilton?s CO-RE disposable tips
? Favorites Tool – enables quick selection of your most commonly- used labware
? Liquid Class Tuner ? an easy to use utility for selecting optimal pipetting parameters and improved liquid handling performance
? 3-D Viewing ? an intuitive tool for visualizing deck layouts
Smart pipetting
? Combining these preferences together with other user-defined input (e.g. pipetting volume), INSTINCT96?s built-in intelligence provides:
? Automated deck layouts ? auto-populates the pipetting deck with carriers, microplates/tubes and tips, making setup of deck layouts a snap
? Automated tip tracking ? tracks tip usage, location and status of tip racks
? Smart plate movements ? auto-transporting of labware to destination or waste locations
Programming
For programming, INSTINCT96 software features a series of dedicated Wizards available for commonly performed pipetting routines, each guiding you step-by-step towards final method creation.
? Serial Dilutions
? Reagent Additions
? Plate Replications
? Tube to Plate
? PCR set-up
? SPE
? And many more…
