The RapidPick™ MP 20-Pin Automated Colony Picker features:
- A small footprint saves lab space and easily fits into anaerobic chambers and biosafety hoods.
- TA typical colony picking rate of 2,400 colonies per hour.
- Software Plug-Ins are available to communicate with all Hudson Robotics instruments and over 200 instruments from other manufactures such as LiCONiC incubators, media dispensers, robotic arms and more. The open physical layout allows for easy integration with other instruments and cleaning. Hudson Robotics can provide chambers to showcase your workcell.
- Designed to pick from petri dishes, Nunc™ Omnitray ™ or any SBS plates, including: 1, 6, 8, 24, 48 and 96-well plates. They will inoculate SBS 1, 24, 96, 384, 1536 deep well and standard height microplates.
- Includes barcode scanners to identify barcodes on each of the source colony plate (user optional).
- Optional 2nd destination plate the user can create both an assay plate and an archive plate.
- Users can manually load a colony plate and a media-filled target plate, then start the automated picking through an easy operator interface on the instrument’s control computer.
Major competitive automated colony picker systems use batch picking, so there is a delay in placing colonies into the destination plate. The delay may weaken E. coli or other bacterial colonies or cause death.
