Hamilton™ Pipettor tip, 5mL CO-RE sterile, black, for Microlab STAR automated pipetting system

Description

The Hamilton consumables range is produced in an ISO Class 8 Clean Room, based on ISO 14644 standards as well as ISO 9001 and ISO 13485. Hamilton goes beyond relying on just statistical analysis of quality to assure the highest product quality, e.g. each CO-RE tip is checked for concentricity of its orifice and the absence of flash from the moulding process. TüV Rheinland certifies that our installed Quality Management System has been assessed and found to be in accordance with the requirements of the high performance standards for design and manufacturing of disposable products. Most consumables meet the EC directives CE and IVD. To meet the highly sophisticated needs of laboratories in the Genomics, Proteomics, Cellomics, Forensic and Drug Discovery fields, Hamilton has considerably refined the production requirements for sterile/non-sterile disposable products. The superior biological purity of CO-RE pipettor tips, tubes, and reagent containers is guaranteed by a controlled production process. Skilled personnel, along with automated clean room production, enable contamination-free manufacturing. At regular intervals the production batch is subjected to a highly sensitive PCR method to secure compliance with the defined purity criteria of Dnase/Rnase, pyrogen and PCR inhibitor-free. Hamilton has introduced a new purity grade especially for forensic work, to eliminate the residual risk of contamination of clean products. Along with the strictest purity requirements during the production process, an additional step is performed during the manufacturing and packing of disposable end products. This treatment ensures the effective removal of contaminants by physically destroying any DNA molecules. In accordance with Forensic Science International (FSI), Hamilton has validated the treatment process to prove the effectiveness of eliminating amplifiable DNA. Considering that just one contamination event from extraneous DNA during forensic investigation may result in incorrect DNA profiling, rendering evidence worthless, Hamilton's commitment to purity is of the utmost importance.
