Colony Picking

Picking bacterial colonies from agar plates for cloning. Provided by Oxford Genetics Ltd.

Everyone knows that the first genome sequencing projects took years of work and represent the combined product of tens of thousands of individual fragments.

The RapidPick™ is the first and only fully automated high-throughput colony picking workcell that delivers unparalleled performance and precision

A colony picker is an instrument used to automatically identify microbial colonies growing on a solid media, pick them and duplicate them either onto solid or liquid media. It is used in research laboratories as well as in industrial environments such as food testing and in microbiological cultures.
