Hamilton Robotics has announced that the soon-to-launch CytoScan Automated Target Preparation Solution from Affymetrix, Inc. is built on the customizable Microlab NIMBUS 96 workstation from Hamilton Robotics. The Affymetrix NIMBUS Target Preparation Instrument automates target preparation for the CytoScan Cytogenetics Solution, which offers the broadest coverage and highest performance for detecting human chromosomal aberrations.
The Hamilton Microlab NIMBUS 96 is a customizable instrument platform that offers speed, ease of use, and superior pipetting performance in a small footprint for budget-conscious laboratories. The flexible system combines incredibly accurate liquid measurement with software that provides unprecedented workflow control, file handling, and integration with third-party devices. The compact, affordable system allows laboratories to process up to 96 samples at a time.
Hamilton Robotics tailor-made the Affymetrix NIMBUS for the CytoScan Assay using its rigorous custom-build process, which includes system definition, final design and system assembly, factory acceptance testing, and site acceptance testing.
