Acquisition of a Hamilton Microlab STAR Liquid Handler

eed for sample preparation in user projects, particularly focusing on high-throughput clinical proteomics analyses. The system needs to run established methods for the large-scale preparation of biological samples for mass-spectrometry based proteomics analysis. This includes sample transfer, sample

filtering, and solid phase extraction. In future the system needs to be extendable for running other methods for automated proteomic sample preparation.
