瑞士哈美顿 Hamilton       
1947年，瑞士哈美顿博纳图斯股份公司（以下简称瑞士hamilton公司）的创始者Clerk Hamilton先生发明了世界上第一支微量进样针，即现在的Hamilton 701进样针，该款经典的进样针在60多年以后仍畅销于的全世界各大分析实验室，被使用者奉为“最精确，最耐用的进样针”，而Hamilton进样针也称为了进样针的代名词。
瑞士Hamilton公司从创始起专注于精密玻璃进样针研发生产，目前是全世界最大的精密进样针的生产厂商。

1989年，pH复合电极发明者Ingold博士所创建瑞士Ingold公司被一家上市公司所收购，由于家族企业和上市公司的文化差异，Ingold公司研发部的人员选择加入了瑞士Hamilton公司，更愿意接受家族企业富有创造性的工作氛围。于是，Hamilton几十年来积累的精密玻璃的加工水平和Ingold经典的pH电极的研发理论相结合，从1989年开始，Hamilton开始生产全世界最高品质的pH玻璃电极，多年的专注研发，使Hamilton成为了全世界第二大在线电极生产商。
瑞士Hamilton公司位于瑞士博纳图斯（Bonaduz），地处于瑞士阿尔卑斯山脉的东南部，公司四周环绕雪山，终年不化，一层不染，具有生产pH电极得天独厚的优越环境，得益于瑞士/德国优秀的加工工艺传统，及其现代化的产业配套使得产品具有最顶级的品质。
2008年以前，Hamilton在中国并没有自己的销售体系，全部产品均通过代理商和OEM渠道销售，但这并非表示Hamilton不重视终端客户，而从另外一个方面说明了Hamilton更专注于产品本身。
2008年，Hamilton在上海建立了代表处，即瑞士哈美顿博纳图斯股份公司上海代表处（Hamilton Bonaduz AG Shanghai Rep. Office），为中国代理商提供更好的市场支持和规范的渠道管理，而对于最终用户，Hamilton代表处的成立，意味着更专业的技术服务。借助近两年中国市场在过程传感器领域的需求量不断增长，Hamilton公司在中国的业务也迅速成长。

From Clark Hamilton’s Microliter® Syringe to Leading Laboratory Automation Technology, Hamilton’s expertise in liquid handling goes back to the development of the revolutionary Microliter® syringe in 1947 by the company founder Clark Hamilton. The strategy of the company has been to grow through innovations based on its core competence in liquid handling and to favor high quality products over
short-term profits.

The advent of automation in the laboratory was anticipated early. In 1970, Hamilton had already introduced the first semi-automated diluter. The first fully automated workstation for sample preparation followed in 1980. Today’s STAR line instruments represent the latest development in a series of innovative liquid handling workstations.

Thousands of Hamilton liquid handling workstations are serving customers in laboratories all over the world, some of the instruments with a track record of over 15 years.
 
 
 The HAMILTON Family

Flat hierarchies and openness have kept the innovative spirit and a familiar atmosphere among the approximately 1000 employees in the USA and Europe. Hamilton coexists in Reno, NV, USA and Bonaduz, Switzerland. The decentralized R&D organization benefits both production and marketing, and allows Hamilton to stay close to the local markets and respond quickly to market needs.

We regard the quality of our employees as one of the key elements at Hamilton. Our qualified staff is continually trained to keep up with advancing technologies. In the assembly of the instrument, every technician is responsible for one instrument throughout the entire process. Signing off “their” instrument before final testing is not only part of our quality management procedure, but also a symbol of the pride our staff takes in their work.
 
 
 Quality Thinking in Research, Development & Manufacturing

Over the lifetime of an instrument, each component needs to withstand mechanical stress. Particularly, each of the STAR’s pipetting channels goes through 500,000 to 1 million cycles in its lifetime. To evaluate the reliability of the design, the pipetting channels were tested for 10 million cycles in our research and development departments.

In order to be in complete control of the quality of our instruments, the most important components are manufactured in-house, particularly complex mechanic parts. These parts are manufactured to the tightest tolerances in our own precision machine shops.

Our philosophy for building instruments of the highest reliability is to test each module with criteria that are stricter than those for the whole instrument. Instrument testing is fully automated to avoid any variances due to human interaction. Once the instrument has passed all tests successfully, it is configured with the specific modules and accessories for the customer’s application and has to pass yet another test.

Because we also manufacturer life support equipment, Hamilton is compliance with ISO 9001, GMP and FDA.

 
 Hamilton Company is a global enterprise with manufacturing facilities in Reno, Nevada and Bonaduz, Switzerland. Branch sales offices are located in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

We are the worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of manual, semi-automated and robotic products for precision fluid measuring. For nearly 50 years, Hamilton has been satisfying customer needs by combining quality materials with skilled workmanship, ensuring the highest level of performance of every precision fluid measuring device we manufacture. Hamilton's lifelong commitment to precision, accuracy, and quality has earned us global ISO 9001 Certification.
