Hamilton CO-RE Tipswith PerfectTouch Tip Technology

Quality is determined by the details

Only CO-RE Tips are designed, validated & approved for the

perfect match of our single and multichannel pipetting head

Experience Top Performance with Hamilton CO-RE PerfectTouch Tip Technology

Service & SupportUse of non-Hamilton tips may result in significant application issues with barcode reading, tip positioning and alignment and may affect the longevity of the channels as the channels are designed for lock-and-key fit through CORE technology and not force fit methods. Therefore, using non-Hamilton tips will void Hamilton preventative maintenance programs, and may increase time to program application methods.

Precision technology provides high standard

To ensure pipette volume accuracy for optimum throughput with the fewest failed runs and results, the tips must be as consistent as possible.

Hamilton digitally inspects each tip with vision systems for orifice I.D., O.D., concentricity, and flash.

Only tips from one cavity are packed in one 96-or 384 well tray.

XXXXXX Ensures a perfect fit across all channels and sealing of multichannel pipetting head to pipette cones.

XXXXXX Consistent sample pickup of all channels provides excellent reproducibility and accuracy

Each tip and its packaging are meticulously checked and traced from the individual tip mold cavity to the shipping case, delivering the highest quality tips.

Liquid classes contain all parameters necessary for accurate pipetting

Hamilton pipettors come with liquid classes for Hamilton tips

Using other tips without a circular groove inside of the attachment orifice may increase risk of failure

Only with Hamilton Tips is an unrivalled system reliability guaranteed

Industry-leading standards to ensure purity

To meet the highly sophisticated needs of laboratories in genomics, proteomics, cellomics , forensics, and drug discovery, Hamilton has considerably refined the production requirements for sterile/non-sterile disposable products.

All Hamilton disposable tips are made from 100% medical grade polypropylene, which do not contain “leachables” to exclude any possible adverse results on any analytical assay.

The superior biological purity of CO-RE Tips is guaranteed by a controlled production process

XXXXXX Skilled personnel and fully automated ISO Class 8 clean room production enable contamination-free manufacturing.

Particle – free and clear environmental friendly packaging

Pristine results and safety with selected, non-leachables porous filter materialsThe filter insert in the tip can release substances which may subsequently adversely affect experiments. Hamilton Filter inserts do not contain so called “leachables”, therefore a influence or adverse results on PCR or other analytical application are excluded.

The CO-RE disposable tip packaging contains preloaded tips in 96 well trays in a clear recyclable PET thermoformed tray with a sealed paper lid (blister pack) for easy use in the Microlab STAR Line instruments.

The help preserve the environment, the recyclable PET thermoformed tip blister does not contain any additional color.

CO-RE PERFECTTOUCH TIP TECHNOLOGY


Focus on the essentials

Hamilton loaded the tips and single and multichannel heads for its Microlab STAR pipetting workstations with performance enhancing features. The result is a superior pipette channel which locks on to the tip rather than the standard method of forcing a tip on a mandrel. This new design, patented as CO-RE (Compressed O-Ring Expansion), assures better tip alignment, seals the tip to the pipette channel, eliminates tip distortion, and minimizes the risk of aerosol contamination. CO-RE also enables on-the-fly swapping of disposable tips with washable needles. As a bonus, it also provides a way to pick up labware manipulation tools with the pipette channels and reduce average system prices.

Forceless Tip PickupIncreasing productivity with absolutely consistent sampling due to the CO-RE PerfectTouch System.

The principle

XXXXXX CO-RE technology attaches disposable CO-RE tips to the special designed pipetting channels with a stable lock-and-key fit.

XXXXXX Each CO-RE disposable tip has a circular groove inside the attachment orifice.

XXXXXX An o-ring on the pipetting channel is expanded to fit this groove precisely providing an air-tight seal and straight alignment between the tip and pipetting channel.

The solution you need

Aerosol-Free Tip EjectionOptimized workflow due to clear advantages:

XXXXXX Eliminates the risk of cross-contamination by soft, aerosol-free tip drop-off

XXXXXX Improved system reliability by minimized mechanical stress for tip attachment/tip ejection

XXXXXX Ensure reproducible results by highest positional accuracy along all axes

XXXXXX Increase the pipetting performance of the overall system

XXXXXX Maximum flexibility - Allow different sizes of tips on the same pipetting head in the same run

Hamilton pipette channels and tips are designed to fit precisely into each other for maximum O-ring and tip life. Instead of stretching the tip material the standard over a mandrel avoids permanent tip deformity, tip misalignment, and leaks. Hamilton tips are never deformed by the Hamilton pipette channels and therefore can be reliably dropped off and picked up multiple times in a single run.

Hamilton tips are dropped off by relaxing the O-ring and allowing gravity to pull the tip down

Full traceability and easy volume identification

Each tray and NTR Rack has a color-coded unique barcode label which provides relevant information for greater method security. This barcode contains information about the tip size, application specific geometry of the tip, manufacturing site, tip cavity number, manufacturing date and production lot.
