Hamilton Robotics has introduced a touch-screen monitor option for its Microlab Star and Starlet liquid-handling workstations, providing increased ease of use and space savings.
Taking advantage of Windows 7 capabilities, the touch screen minimises the need for a separate keyboard and mouse.
Users can customise their own graphical interface with windows that can be moved or scrolled through with finger movements.
The monitor is fully supported by the Hamilton Venus software.
'The touch-screen monitor is the ideal interface for entering data, creating methods and making decisions during a run,' said Scott Eaton, director of clinical and international sales and marketing for Hamilton Robotics.
The 19in touch-screen monitor can be positioned at any angle up to approximately 135deg, mounted on the right side of the Star instrument, and can be folded out of the way when not in use.
