Key Innovations - CO-RE Technology
CO-RE = Compression-induced O-Ring Expansion
• Disposable tips and steel washable needles on the same head, during the same run
• Highest positional accuracy along all axes
• Stress-free Tip Pick-Up • Contamination-free tip drop-off • Universal Tool
7
Pipetting Channels
• Monitored Air Displacement Pipetting principle (MAD)
No system liquid, no tubing, no pumps
• Channel Capacity 1000µl • Pipetting Heads with Independent
Volume from 0.5 – 1000µl Pipetting height Asymmetric, variable span in Y direction
• Totally accessible deck Each channel accesses each well on all
pipetting locations

Key Benefits to Automating PhyNexus Applications on a Hamilton Robotics Platform
• CORE 96 Head • 1mL Capacity allows for a wide range of PhyNexus applications • Increased throughput
• Air Displacement Pipetting Technology • Allows for more mixing cycles without disrupting or resetting air
gaps in fluid filled lines
• Functionality & Flexibility • Ability not only to automate protein and plasmid DNA
purifications, but additional liquid handling tasks • Many configuration and accessory options allow for automation
of practically any liquid handling task
• Worldwide Service & Support Organization
