Hamilton : What floorutions for the manipulation of liquids and sample automation?

Global benchmark in liquid handling, Hamilton designs microlitre syringes and pipetting robots that set the standard, along with process sensors and automated sample storage solutions. From R&D labs to QC teams in pharma/biotech, as well as agri-food and environment, the brand delivers assured accuracy, traceability and throughput. With its CO-RE technology and Microlab platforms, Hamilton automates sensitive protocols without compromising precision.

Pioneering since 1953

Founded in 1953 by Clark Hamilton in the United States, the company quickly set the benchmark for the high-precision microlitre syringe for chromatography and research. To serve Europe, it established Hamilton Bonaduz AG in Switzerland, today one of the group’s hubs of innovation. Over the decades, Hamilton broadened its expertise: liquid-handling robotics, process analytics for bioreactors, and automated, temperature-controlled storage. Still independent, the brand blends an engineering culture, durable components and local support. Its international growth rests on a constant commitment: providing laboratories with solutions that are reliable, scalable and ready for industrialisation.

Expertise and Areas of Specialisation

Hamilton is renowned for its microlitre syringes and precision needles: precise volumes, leak-tight performance, GC/LC compatibility and long service life. For dilution and dispensing tasks in QC or analytical labs, the Microlab 600 delivers fast, traceable and highly repeatable execution.

On the automation side, the Microlab STAR/STARlet, NIMBUS and VANTAGE platforms safeguard DNA/RNA, qPCR, ELISA, LC-MS sample preparation or screening workflows. CO-RE technology ensures a tight, reproducible tip-to-pipette coupling, minimising wear and contamination.

Frequently asked questions about the Hamilton brand

Are Hamilton syringes really more precise?
Glass and stainless steel machined to micron tolerances, precision fits and 100% inspection deliver reproducible accuracy. They’re serviceable and built to last.

Do Hamilton robots accept our consumables?
The STAR/NIMBUS platforms handle SBS formats (plates, racks, 2D-coded tubes). CO-RE tips are required. Methods can be adapted via the VENUS software.

What does CO-RE technology deliver in practice?
A compressible seal ensures tightness and alignment. Twist-free pick-up/ejection improves repeatability, limits wear and lowers the risk of cross-contamination.

What is the Microlab 600 used for in QC?
Precise dilutions and dispensing with built-in traceability for calibrations, sample preparation and standards. Simple maintenance; wear-part kits available.

Where are Hamilton products manufactured?
Mainly in the United States (Reno, NV) and Switzerland (Bonaduz). The brand provides support, spares and repairs via a network of certified partners.

Does Hamilton have a sustainability/CSR approach?
Robust, repairable design; automation that reduces waste; and storage solutions that protect sample integrity. Programmes and commitments may vary by region.
