Hamilton’s proprietary software, based on industrial machine vision technology, provides complete control and monitoring of the punching process. The entire process is tracked using imaging recognition.

The samples are monitored by powerful tracking software to eliminate any chance of sample identification errors. The easyPunch workstation is based on the Hamilton Robotics Microlab STARlet platform and features two special modules and robotic arms for transporting and punching paper cards. “Researchers or technicians had to be consistently precise and experienced when handling and tracking samples, or the results could be compromised.”

“Until now, sample card punching for analysis preparation required tedious manual work or separate semi-automated instruments and an operator. “Because many labs lack a fully automated workflow, thousands of samples such as blood and saliva placed on punch cards are waiting long periods to be processed for critical studies and forensic analysis,” said Stefan Mauch, Product Manager of the easyPunch STARlet system. The system claims to minimise human error and enables high-throughput sample preparation for a variety of applications, such as forensic reference databasing as well as pre-clinical and clinical drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) and toxicology studies. The easyPunch STARlet system, manufactured in Hamilton’s Bonaduz, Switzerland facility, integrates punching of GE Healthcare Whatman FTATM and DMPK sample collection cards with automated sample extraction, eliminating common bottlenecks in laboratory processes.
