Increased Flexibility for Diluting and Dispensing

Hamilton Company introduced MICROLAB 600 – the next generation in its line of semiautomated laboratory diluters and dispensers for preanalytical sample preparation. Based on Hamilton’s leading syringe technology and positive displacement dispensing, the new instrument has been designed for ease of use and offers flexibility for more routines and smaller sample volumes. The ML600 is ideal for a range of applications including blood alcohol and metals analyses. The new ML600 features an internet-enabled controller with an icon-based graphical touch screen for increased ease of use.

Syringe resolution has been increased in the ML600, allowing the programming of smaller intervals and sample volumes. Proprietary Negative Dead Volume (NDV) syringes eliminate trapped air bubbles and solvent to speed priming and solvent changes, while a universal valve enables users to quickly switch from one task to another with minimal downtime. The ML600 is offered as a one or two-syringe system.

“We are continually enhancing our technology to meet the evolving needs of our customers,” said Jason March, Director of Marketing for Hamilton. “The new features of the ML600 will appeal to a broader range of labs, including those with smaller sample quantities and multiple applications.”
