Major Products/Services

HPLC Columns – Hamilton manufactures 18 types of polymeric HPLC columns for reversed phase, anion exchange, cation exchange, and ion exclusion separations, providing a wide range of retention characteristics and performance benefits. Hamilton's polymer-based HPLC columns provide maximum inertness and pH stability (0–14) with the pressure stability of silica-based columns. With Hamilton's Polymeric Reversed Phase (PRP(tm)) HPLC columns and resins, the sample dictates the necessary separation conditions, not the limitations of the column. Hamilton can also customize HPLC columns to meet a desired application need. Each product is manufactured to achieve the highest level of accuracy.

Chromatography Syringes – Hamilton offers the most complete selection of syringes on the market for use in various applications including GC and HPLC (autosamplers and manual injection), thin layer chromatography (TLC), liquid handling, and life sciences. Crafting exceptional syringes is an evolving science, which is why Hamilton is dedicated to the continuous research and development of this product line. Hamilton constantly enriches its entire syringe offering by either improving existing models or introducing new ones. Using customers' needs and feedback as a guide, we innovate in ways that maximize flexibility, performance, and value.

HDHT Headspace Autosampler Syringe - Hamilton Company has introduced an innovative HDHT headspace syringe for high temperature applications up to 200 °C. A chemically inert needle attachment eliminates detached needles in any solvent. The high dynamic HD-type syringe employs a unique spring in the plunger tip which compensates for the materials' different expansion coefficients, creating a better seal over a larger temperature range and improving syringe lifetime. Accuracy and reproducibility of GC headspace analysis has established Hamilton Company as the trusted name in syringes for CTC Combi PAL^(r) autosamplers.

Microlab^(r) 600 Diluter/Dispenser – The Microlab^(r) 600 is a highly precise syringe pump with a touchscreen interface designed to quickly and easily dilute and dispense fluids, while increasing throughput and reducing cost and wasted buffer. This positive displacement system provides better than 99% accuracy, independent of a liquid's viscosity, vapor pressure, and temperature. The inert fluid path minimizes sample carryover and is compatible with harsh chemicals.
