Company News
Takara Bio USA and Hamilton Company have announced a development and co-marketing agreement to automate next-generation sequencing library preparation workflows globally. The partnership will integrate Takara Bio's SMART-Seq library preparation kits with Hamilton's Microlab STAR Liquid Handling Systems. The first automated technology will be the SMART-Seq mRNA LP kit, with additional SMART-Seq products planned for automation. The collaboration aims to reduce hands-on time and errors whilst increasing throughput and reducing labour costs for laboratories, including core facilities. The pre-revenue partnership combines Takara Bio's RNA-seq chemistry with Hamilton's liquid handling automation to standardise high-throughput workflows. Takara Bio USA is sponsoring the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh from 28–31 March 2026.
The largest repository of validated, free and subject-focused e-publications and online seminars in analytical science covering latest techniques, equipment, original research, editorials, and industry news and trends.
Ultima Genomics and Hamilton Company have partnered to automate sample preparation and amplification workflows for Ultima's sequencing systems using Hamilton's Microlab STAR liquid handling platform. The collaboration aims to enable scalable, efficient next-generation sequencing workflows with improved operational efficiency. The global agreement will jointly develop automation scripts for Ultima's workflows, supporting integration with existing library preparation approaches. This addresses a critical bottleneck in production-scale genomics by delivering complete workflow automation for research and translational applications. The partnership combines Ultima's "sequencing-on-a-wafer" technology with Hamilton's automation expertise, allowing laboratories to reduce hands-on time and support production-scale sequencing. Hamilton, headquartered in Reno, Nevada, has over 75 years of experience in precision laboratory automation and serves the scientific community through a global network.
Alps Dx and Hamilton Company announced the showcase of Alps Dx Atelier, an automated system for oral fluid drug testing, at the SLAS 2026 conference in Boston. Built on Hamilton's MICROLAB STARlet platform, the system automates preanalytical processing steps including barcode identification, decapping, filtration and tube capping. The system addresses inefficiencies in oral fluid testing workflows, which often rely on manual handling and inconsistent processes. Designed for the FDA-cleared Quantisal collection device, Alps Dx Atelier aims to improve sample quality, reduce turnaround times and ease staffing pressures in clinical and forensic laboratories. Alps Dx, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, develops automated technologies for oral fluid testing. Hamilton Company is a global life sciences manufacturer based in Reno, Nevada, with over 75 years of experience in precision measurement and automated liquid handling.
Reno, NV, United States, May 6, 2025 - Hamilton Company, a global leader in precision measurement and automated liquid handling solutions for over 70 years, announced The Hamilton Research Support Grant program, aimed at bridging academic research funding gaps by improving access to essential benchtop laboratory equipment for institutions affected by recent budget constraints.
