Everlasting Reliability in NGS Workflows
The NGS STAR Line evolves along with your sequencing workflow automation needs to deliver high-quality results long into the future.
DPS - Dynamic Positioning System
DPS enables all channels to pipette simultaneously, even across non-uniform patterns. Unlike fixed channels with equidistant spreading, DPS offers efficient yet flexible liquid handling for cherry picking, non-uniform and variable volume samples, and complex pipetting workflows.
CO-RE II Tip/Tool Attachment
The Key to Liquid Handling Workflow Excellence
The new CO-RE II technology assures more precise tip alignment, minimizing the risk of collisions. Also, tip coupling is faster which boosts productivity. Besides tips, a wide range of Hamilton tools are applicable with CO-RE II.
Aerosol-Free Tip Ejection
As part of CO-RE II technology’s functionality, pipette tips are gently ejected from each automated liquid handler pipetting channel. This prevents aerosol generation that may expose users to harmful biohazards or cross-contaminate samples and laboratory surfaces.
Plug-and-Play Convenience
With all devices, modules, and software necessary for impactful NGS library prep in one system, you can rapidly set up and deploy the NGS STAR Line.
Explore the NGS STAR Line
Decklayouts between NGS STAR and NGS STAR MOA do slightly differ due to different pipetting hardware (NGS STAR MOA deck shown as reference).
Empty positions can be used to expand according to application needs.
Ultraviolet Light Package, Optional
Decontaminates and sterilizes exposed surfaces on the deck of the NGS STAR Line to support workflow integrity.
On-Deck Thermalcycler (ODTC), Optional
Thermal cycling with adjustable settings for high precision and reproducibility. Supports most 96-well PCR plates. Use with the PCR ComfortLid. Accessible with the CO-RE 96-Probe Head.
Consumables and Reagent Storage
The deck layout offers ample storage space for CO-RE II tips, plates, and reagent reservoirs, with automatic barcode scanning to verify proper placement.
Processing Positions
A dedicated zone manages all pipetting steps using MIDI and PCR plates. An integrated magnet plate is used for magnetic bead-based purification steps.
Temperature incubation and mixing
Includes 5 Hamilton Heater Shakers (HHS) with speed up to 2500 rpm and heating up to 105 ºC, along with 1 Cold Plate Air Cooled Heater/Cooler (CPAC).
Transportation Tool
Agile CO-RE Grippers and optional iSWAP (for ODTC integration) support hands-free processing by reliably moving plates around the deck throughout the workflow.
Automated Loading and Scanning
Autoloading and barcode verification enable full sample traceability while verifying proper consumable and reagent loading and placement.
