Hamilton FLOW PCR Setup Instrument

The Hamilton FLOW PCR Setup Instrument is a benchtop robotic workstation for fully automated preparation of PCR and qPCR reaction setups, designed to minimize manual pipetting errors and increase sample throughput. It is typically used in conjunction with Roche Life Science products (such as the MagNA Pure 96 System and LightCycler® 480 Instrument) as part of the FLOW solution.

Features and Specifications
The Hamilton FLOW PCR Setup Instrument (PSU) is distinguished by its precision and ability to integrate into automated workflows.

Automation: It automates the pipetting and distribution of PCR components (samples, master mixes, primers) into 96- or 384-well PCR plates.

Volume range: The hardware is designed for aspiration and dispensing of volumes up to 1 ml.

Traceability: It features automatic tracking of barcodes on accessories and consumables to ensure complete sample traceability.

Software integration: The device uses FLOW Software, which imports test requests from laboratory information systems (LIMS) and reports results back. The software also enables user-friendly configuration of PCR setups.

Flexibility: It can be used either as a standalone device for PCR setup or in a "FLOW Flex" configuration for combined primary sample handling and PCR preparation.

Accessories: Optional accessories such as cooling blocks for PCR plates are available to maintain the integrity of temperature-sensitive reagents.

Applications
Experts from Hamilton and Roche indicate that the instrument is suitable for a wide range of applications in the field of genomics:

Gene expression analysis
Genotyping
Sequencing
Detection of pathogens (e.g. SARS-CoV-2 testing)
Clinical diagnostics
