RapidPick™ Complete Colony Picker

RapidPick™ Complete offers the highest flexibility for workcell automation, throughput and efficiency in colony-picking.

RapidPick™ Complete Colony Picker contains the RapidPick MP 20-Pin colony picker, along with a PlateCrane™ robotic arm, 10 microplate stacks, a Micro10x™ media dispenser, an adhesive plate sealer and a stand-alone enclosure. Upgrades include optional UV and HEPA filtration, GFP fluorescence colony picking, Halo detection and a LiCONiC automated shaking incubator.

Description

The RapidPick™ Complete Colony Picker is designed to pick from SBS-compatible omni-trays, segmented colony plates, 24-well, 96-well and 384-well plates and petri dishes. It will inoculate SBS-compatible omni-trays, 24-well, 96-well and 384-well deep well and standard height plates.

All RapidPick operations are controlled by Hudson’s powerful SoftLinx™ easy-to-use scheduling software.

Hudson’s RapidPick™ Colony Picking Systems are the only fully automated high-throughput colony picking workstations. They deliver performance and precision unparalleled in the Life Science industry for enhancing bacterial cultivation.  In addition to allowing researchers to automate the selection and growth of cells grown on a colony plate, the RapidPick software retains a record and image of each specific colony and which culture plate/well it inoculated. It provides the users an indispensable, unbroken data path from original colony to final result, eg. tracking a clone to a specific expressed protein.
