Description: Microlab Liquid Handler Nimbus Background: The in-gel digestion treatment is time-consuming and this step limits the amount of samples the core facility can handle. Other indigestion robots include many valves, syringes, and long tubing. They are not only hard to maintain, but also easy to get contaminated and are less efficient. Because of its unique technology, Hamilton in-gel digestion system can ensure reliable and high efficient protein digestion and peptide extraction, which is critical to the function of the core facility. The results of the market research concluded that there are other no other manufacturers of robotic (automated) liquid handling systems that possess the essential of feature of air displacement technology that meet the governments needs to reliably digest samples in large quantities and enable a more efficient peptide extraction process.
