MICROLAB Venus One
Focusing on the everyday requirements of users in today’s busy labs and feedback from existing customers, HAMILTON has designed a new and innovative software to control the STAR line of instruments: MICROLAB® VENUS.
The intuitive user interface reduces programming time and lets you achieve results faster with less training.
The modular concept of the MICROLAB® VENUS software covers the full range of your daily lab work: For instance you can set up a standard task like a plate copying routine in less than a minute. Yet where required you have access to the full flexibility of the software, MICROLAB® VENUS gives you all the tools needed for: Worklist handling, LIMS adaption, database- and server controls, scheduling or third party component control.
Action Editor
The Action Editor offers you a very intuitive user interface which includes access to all possible actions (pipetting, transport, incubation, etc.) in a toolbox for simple drag&drop programming. With the Action Editor you can quickly carry out throughput calculations and easily customize the actions by inserting action details like pipetting volume, pipetting source and target.
Programming made flexible yet easy - Venus One
The SuperSimpleMethods module allows you to execute the most common lab routines (copy plates, add buffer, serial dilution, etc) with the least possible user interaction: A wizard guides you through a few dialogs (e.g. enter the number of plates, volume or liquid type) and shows you how to load the deck. You no longer have to care about labware names or deck-layout creation - all that is done automatically.
With the step template module you can focus on the critical parts of your assay. Step templates offer a "skeleton" of commonly used assay steps such as serial dilution, vacuum steps, stacked tip handling etc. Simply drag the template into your method and adapt it to your needs: Change the pipetting volume, specifiy source and target plates on the 3D deck and then run the method.
