Hamilton’s Long String STAR V automates ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) DNA extraction and labeling, providing samples suitable for Optical Genome Mapping (OGM). It functions seamlessly with Bionano chemistries so that structural variants may be properly identified.
Ease the Path to Genetic Discovery
Long String STAR V Assay Ready Workstation
The Long String STAR V removes manual barriers to high-quality UHMW DNA isolation and downstream processing using extraction and labeling kits from Bionano.
Easy Adoption
No need for highly trained staff or complex manual optimization. Automate the OGM UHMW DNA sample preparation workflow with guidance.

Deck illustrates the full OGM workflow automation option, including UHMW DNA extraction and labeling hardware. Option for UHMW DNA extraction-only available as well.
Isolation Processing Positions
Main work area for UHMW DNA extraction. 1 microplate position for magnetic disk positioning and 3 deep well plate positions for lysis, binding, and washing steps.
Hardware and Consumables for Magnetic Disk Handling
MagRods and MagRod Sleeves for optimal magnetic disk handling steps. Elution strips for separation of UHMW DNA from the disks by off-deck centrifugation.
Temperature Controlled Positions
Two Hamilton Heater Coolers (HHCs) for sensitive reagent cooling and PCR plate incubation. A transportable Heated Lid prevents evaporation during UHMW DNA labeling.
Reagent, Sample, and Standard Consumable Storage
Carriers hold reagent reservoirs and different tube types, and dedicated areas store tips, plates, and the Hamilton Comfort Lid.
Reliable Transports
The Hamilton Quad CO-RE Gripper enables plate and Heated Lid transports, essential in temperature-sensitive workflow steps.
Automated Loading and Scanning
Sample and reagent traceability is provided by the fully autoloadable tray and barcode verification to prevent any mix-ups.
