The engineer will point you to a standard solution or propose a customized solution to meet your needs. Microlab Diluters Quickly perform accurate and repeatable dilutions independent of viscosity, vapor pressure, or temperature. Microlab Dispensers Dispense a single solution or two solutions independently. Pipette, serial dispense, titrate, or aliquot with confidence. How does semi-automation improve my efficiency? Compliance and Logging Hamilton Company introduces the newest feature of the Microlab Advanced — a comprehensive compliance package.
This free software update provides a variety of security protections, simplifies adherence to FDA GXP regulations, ability to administer user accounts and passwords, create log files that conform to 21 CFR Part 11, and manage log files on a PC using the LyncStore application.
Process Security The Microlab automates the pipetting process. Methods established by a lab manager are stored in the controller and are consistently run by all technicians. These high quality materials minimize the potential for leaching of metals or other contaminates that can be detected by downstream processes. Instrument Calibration The Microlab is shipped with a calibration certificate traceable to N.
Between calibrations the syringe drives and valve motors are monitored by optical encoders ensuring that every dispense is completed accurately and precisely. Controller The Microlab controller features a large, easy-to-use touchscreen. A dedicated host USB port enables connection to a keyboard, mouse, printer, and barcode reader. The Controller can come with either basic or advanced software.
Upgrading from basic to advanced is as simple as plugging in an SD card. Syringe Pump The pump unit is the heart of the Microlab The Microlab is available as a single or dual syringe system. The pump unit contains a precision drive motor, the syringe drive mechanism, the valve assembly, syringe selection button, prime button, power button, and hand probe receptacles. Controller Software Update Download and install the latest Microlab controller software.
Microlab Wizards Review preloaded Microlab wizards and download new wizards to extend the instruments functionality. LyncStore PC-based archive for instrument log files generated on Advanced Microlab diluters and dispensers. Microlab Program Helper Trying to control the pump via Ethernet? Place the rounded portion of the cutout on the screws and push the assembly down for final assembly. See Figure for details. See Appendix C for optional hand probes and foot switch.
Note: When installing the probe on the Microlab , thread the tubing from the hand probe through the clips that hold the trigger wire and the dispense tubing together. It will connect from the Ethernet port on the controller via the controller cord into the Ethernet port on the pump see Figure The controller unit will send instructions to the drive unit via a touchscreen interface.
Page 47 Power Cord Jack This port will only be used when the controller is not attached to the Microlab drive unit. A controller power supply is not shipped with the Microlab as the controller receives power through the Ethernet port when connected to the pump. The boot up will take approximately 30 seconds. Activity will be indicated by green lights that move across the bottom of the screen. Buttons and Icons are used to change Parameters, and Indicators are designed to give current and future status of the pump.
If there is not an arrow, the syringe will not be moving in the next step. Valve Move Indicator This indicator shows the current valve position and the position where the valve will move in the next step. The right valve is a mirror image of the left valve. The IN position connects the right syringe to the reservoir through the right valve port. The values that can be changed are displayed together in a table format.
Only the highlighted row from the table can be edited using the Change buttons. The screen will initially display the current parameter value. There is no need to clear the current value. It will be automatically deleted once a keypad button is pressed. The Main Menu screen provides access to all other screens within the User Interface.
Press the Icon Buttons on the Main Menu screen to navigate through the interface. Page Valve Setup 4. The default is to accept trigger signals from either the left or the right trigger port. If desired, it is possible to set the instrument to only accept triggers from the left or right side of the instrument.
Page Software Configuration Carefully press and briefly hold stylus on the center of the target. Repeat as the target moves around the screen. If the clicked area on the touchscreen does not seem to be aligned with the image on the screen it is probably time to recalibrate the screen.
Page Screen Power Off 4. The default setting for the power off is ten minutes. If desired, the power off time can be increased through this selection.
Page Quick Start Step 4. Step 1 will be repeated. If the Auto Refill icon, see Section 3. If the icon is set to OFF then the Microlab will wait for a trigger. If the icon is set to OFF then the Microlab will wait for a trigger at which time Step 1 will be repeated. Page Error Log Download the. ZIP update file and transfer it to an SD card. Transfer the entire file; do not extract the files. This process will be handled by the Microlab controller. Insert the SD card into the controller, and power on the Microlab instrument.
Enter the Utilities screen, and press the Update button. Page Yearly Maintenance 5. Upon receiving the instrument a technician will evaluate it to make sure it is in good working order. However, some chemicals may discolor the surface of the unit. If a spill occurs on the exterior of the instrument, wipe the surface immediately.
Wash the surface using a damp cloth with soap and water. Page Error Logs The controller will log the errors that have occurred with the pump. This will be stored as a file on the pump that can be exported and sent to Hamilton Company to review and aid in troubleshooting. To expedite service, please have the instrument part number and serial number readily available. Please be able to provide application specific information syringe sizes, drive speeds, and liquids. This number assures proper tracking of your instrument.
Instruments that are returned without an RMA number will be sent back to the customer without being repaired. The power supply is common to all Microlab instruments and handles — VAC. When the Microlab is purchased the correct power cord must be selected for the country where the instrument will be used. This is an optional hand probe for use with the Dilution and Pipette Wizards. Note: The 18 gauge tubing requires the use of a tubing collet to hold the smaller tubing firmly.
This is useful when you need to keep both hands free, in applications such as hand sampling or animal dosing. Page Appendix D-Chemical Compatibility Appendix D Chemical Compatibility This section contains information about chemical compatibility with the Microlab instrument at room temperature.
The positional accuracy is then compared to the allowable tolerance of a 1 mL syringe to determine the resulting dispense volumes. This method has been proven to correlate to dispense accuracy through extensive testing. Alarm indicator LED light This light will illuminate on the front panel of the drive unit if a stall or other problem has occurred.
The tip of the probe is adjustable and allows the user to set the dispense tubing to an angle that is comfortable for use. See Appendix C. Configuration screen This is the screen in the controller where the user can select the syringe size, valve type, triggering, and system settings for the unit.
Page 97 Drive unit The heart of the Microlab that contains the valves, syringes, tubing, and the syringe drive mechanism. Dual dispenser A two syringe instrument that can dispense two different liquids at the same time. Page 98 Microlab pump. Page 99 These buttons are used to add and clear numbers from the Value Indicator.
Power jack VDC Receptacle This is the port where the power cord connects the drive unit or controller. Return Steps Return Steps are used to take the mechanical slack out of the syringe drive. The defaults should be used unless otherwise instructed by a representative of Hamilton Company or an authorized distributor for Hamilton Company. Syringe drive arm mechanism The arms to which syringe plungers connect. The movement of the syringe drive arms moves the plunger which displaces fluid, drawing it through the system.
Valve The device that directs the flow of liquid through the system. Valve drive motor The valve drive motor is part of the drive unit that controls valve rotation. Valve initialization Valves rotate more than degrees to identify a calibration location on the optical encoder.
