The Microlab STAR liquid handling workstation can re-array liquids to and from tubes, vials and microtiter plates using either 1-16 indepdent channels or either of its 96 or 384 multiprobe heads.  Key is the programming.  Venus One software comes with Super Simple Methods to accomplish this easily and simply.  The software will ask you what labware you want to use, how you want them re-arrayed, pipetting parameters, and then to load your carriers with your source and targets.  Once loaded you simple need to press the GO button.  If you want to add a few more intermediary steps, just open up the Action Editor and drop and drag the steps you want to add.  If you want to get more complex with variables and loops, that is possible too by simply openning up the method editor and drag and dropping additional scripting commands.  The deck is displayed in 2D and 3D so you can see where everything will be and how it will be processed down to the individual well, before you actually physically starting anything.

Hamilton Microlab STAR automated liquid handling workstation are ideal for carrying out the laborious task of serial dilutions.  Sample liquid can be transferred to and from tubes, vials, and microtiter plates.  Key is the programming.  Venus One software comes with Super Simple Methods to accomplish serial dilutions easily and simply.  The software will ask you what labware you want to use, how you want to carry out the dilution, pipetting parameters, and then to load your carriers with your source, targets and dilution liquid.  Once loaded you simple need to press the GO button.  If you want to add a few more intermediary steps, just open up the Action Editor and drop and drag the steps you want to add.  If you want to get more complex with variables and loops, that is possible too by simply openning up the method editor and drag and dropping additional scripting commands.  The deck is displayed in 2D and 3D so you can see where everything will be and how it will be processed down to the individual well, before you actually physically starting anything.

The Venus One software can carry out any ratio of dilution in multiple dilution steps. Different labware types can be intermixed in the process.  Various screens can be applied as well as intermediary mixing steps.
