Exciting New Products for Laboratory Analytics

Hamilton Bonaduz AG offers a wide portfolio of high quality analytical products. At Analytica 2012 in Munich the latest developments in the field of liquid handling, sample preparation and HPLC were shown.

The new X-Type syringe was developed to complement Hamilton’s comprehensive portfolio of fine quality syringes. The X-Type syringe comes with a highly inert internal coating which avoids unwanted adsorption of biological sample material. Consequently, no crosscontamination will affect the obtained results. The smooth inner surface and a high
performance plunger tip made from a resistant PTFE-composite offer a significantly increased lifetime compared to traditional syringes.

The latest version of the Company’s semi-automated sample preparation system, the Microlab 600, may be used for precise and reproducible dispensing and diluting of samples. The positive displacement principle provides better than 99% accuracy, independent of a liquid's physical properties. The fully metal-free flow path supports handling of concentrated acids or metal sensitive applications and widely avoids sample carry over. The Microlab 600 also provides a variety of security protections and simplifies compliance to CFR 21 Part 11 and FDA GLP/GMP regulations for laboratory in regulated environments such as pharmaceutical and forensics.

Hamilton’s HPLC portfolio is expanding. An independent column line for anion analysis will be introduced which consists of optimised columns for high resolution and trace level analysis as well as for fast and solvent-saving separations. The columns are packed with durable covalent functionalised anion exchange resin which exhibits well-defined particle sizes for increased lifetime and outstanding reproducibility.
