Hamilton Company Acquires UK Robotics and Trisonic Discovery: A New Era in Laboratory Automation
In a bold move to advance its position in the laboratory automation market, Hamilton Company announced the acquisition of two innovative companies—UK Robotics and Trisonic Discovery—on July 16, 2025. This strategic expansion not only enhances Hamilton’s capabilities but also promises to deliver comprehensive, cost-effective, and scalable solutions aimed at overcoming real-world research challenges.
Elevating Lab Automation
One of the standout features resulting from these acquisitions is the enhanced collaboration with UK Robotics. The company is known for its cutting-edge dynamic scheduling software, particularly the Revolution platform. This technology significantly elevates Hamilton’s ability to provide fully integrated, end-to-end laboratory automation solutions.
Imagine a laboratory where workflow efficiency, ease of use, and flexibility are not just aspirations but realities. The next generation of the Revolution platform, known as RevoWeb, steps up to offer a cost-effective solution for diverse needs. Whether you’re embarking on a Proof-of-Concept or customizing a comprehensive system, RevoWeb makes sophisticated automation accessible. This expansion fosters innovation by serving a wide spectrum of clients, from academic researchers to major corporations.
Advanced Acoustic Dispensing
The acquisition of Trisonic Discovery is equally transformative. Known for its acoustic dispensing technologies, Trisonic enhances Hamilton’s existing instrumentation capabilities and introduces groundbreaking innovations to the portfolio. The flagship A1 Acoustic Dispenser exemplifies this innovation, allowing for precise, efficient, and contactless liquid handling—an essential capability in contemporary research applications.
These acoustic dispensing technologies broaden the scope of Hamilton’s liquid handling platforms, making it feasible to meet the rigorous demands of modern laboratories. Researchers can now achieve higher levels of precision while maintaining efficiency, an essential combination for today’s fast-paced research environment.
Operational Continuity and Strategic Growth
For clients of UK Robotics and Trisonic Discovery, the news comes with its own silver lining. Existing customers can look forward to uninterrupted service, ensuring that ongoing projects and partnerships will continue seamlessly. UK Robotics will maintain its focus on lab automation and the development of RevoWeb, while Trisonic Discovery will persist in innovating acoustic dispensing technologies.
Both entities stand to benefit from Hamilton’s extensive global infrastructure and resources. This synergy not only promises heightened customer support but also opens avenues for strategic growth. The collaboration is a win-win, generating new opportunities while enhancing the quality of service for existing customers.
