Increase Accuracy and Time Savings in Cannabinoid Analysis Sample Preparation

The rapid growth of the cannabis industry across the United States has increased the need for analytical laboratories to follow strict sample preparation protocols to accurately quantify cannabinoids and other active compounds. As noted by Cannabis Science and Technology, precision in the preparation process is critical to ensuring reliable results. However, analyst-to-analyst variability remains a significant challenge—especially when using manual dilution or hand-pipetting techniques.

Improving Reproducibility and Accuracy

Manual pipetting can introduce error and inconsistency in cannabinoid analysis workflows. The Hamilton Microlab 600 automates dilution and dispensing, minimizing human variability and significantly improving reproducibility. According to validated application data, the Microlab 600 can reduce percent relative standard deviation (%RSD) by more than 50% compared to manual pipetting—ensuring more consistent quantitation across samples and analysts.

Increase Efficiency and Save Time

In analytical testing, time and accuracy go hand in hand. The Microlab 600 helps laboratories save both by streamlining sample preparation steps—eliminating the need for repetitive solution prep, calibration, and manual cleanup. By automating these tasks, analysts can redirect their focus toward data review and higher-value operations, maximizing throughput without sacrificing precision.

For laboratories processing large volumes of cannabis or hemp extracts, the Microlab 600 provides a cost-effective bridge between manual pipetting and fully automated liquid handling. It offers excellent performance, intuitive operation, and fast ROI for cannabinoid analysis workflows.

Key Benefits of the Microlab 600

• Improved Accuracy: Dual-syringe technology ensures precise volumetric control for cannabinoid standards and dilutions.
• Time Savings: Automates repetitive liquid handling tasks, freeing analysts for higher-value activities.
• Reduced Variability: Minimizes user-to-user differences for reproducible cannabinoid quantitation.
• Cost-Effective Automation: Offers the benefits of automated accuracy without the price of full-scale robotics.
