Abstract
Automated liquid handlers are widely used in sample extraction procedures in bioanalysis. Compared to manual liquid transfer, automated liquid transfer, using a 96-well format, significantly improves efficiency, accuracy, and precision. In addition, automated liquid handlers are evolving constantly through technological advancements in functionality and reliability to address the analytical challenges relevant to Bioanalytical work. The new technology of the Hamilton Microlab STAR liquid handler has unique advantages as a liquid handler desgned to provide the analyst with additional flexibility, such as independent liquid aspiration/dispense in each channel, and untethered access to and from any given location on the machine deck layout.

Hamilton STAR: Advantages as a Liquid Handler The Hamilton Microlab STAR liquid handler is exceptionally flexible and powerful due to the ability of each of its channels to independently access any point on the deck layout
Summary
Hamilton Microlab Star liquid handlers have unique and flexible functionalities such as independent liquid aspiration/dispense in each channel, and untethered access to and from any given location on the machine deck layout. The STAR control program (Venus) can be difficult to learn and operate. To simplify STAR programming for analysts, a user friendly interface software called HSPA (Hamilton STAR Program Assistant) was generated. HSPA communicates with Venus during the liquid handling process through a text output file. It leaves the instrument action commands to Venus, and allows users to focus on detailed method information and sample location information
