Hamiltons Microlab Nimbus meets the needs of smaller throughput automated pipetting applications. It is a platform for fast plate replication, serial dilutions (by row or column), reagent addition, reformatting, and PCR setup. The futuristic body of the system is designed to fit within a typical environmental hood. Its base configuration consists of a 96 channel pipetting head using the companys precision Co-Re tip technology. The fixed deck has 9 to 12 SBS labware positions. Labware density is further enhanced by the utilization of the producers proprietary nested tip rack design, which allows for tips to be stacked up to four racks high on the Microlab deck.
