RapidPick™

• RapidPick™ Single Pin (SP) or Multi Pin (MP) Colony Picker.
• Ideal for colony picking of Bacteria, Yeast, GFP, Halo-forming organisms and to perform Blue/White Selection.
• SP: Medium-throughput colony picking with approx. 250 colonies/hour.
• MP: High-throughput with more than 2,400 colonies/hour.
• Average inoculation rate is over 99 % for the SP system and over 96 % for the MP system.
• SP system has a fully enclosed picking area.
• Space for one source and one destination plate.
• Built-in camera takes an image of the entire plate in a single image.
• Fits easily most lab benchtops and anaerobic chambers.
• Ideal for microbiome research picking inside anaerobic chambers (choice of chambers also available from Dunn Labortechnik).
• Manual loading of colony plate and media-filled destination plate.
• Computer and control software included.
• Designed to pick from petri dishes, Nunc™ Omnitray™ or any plate in SLAS/ANSI-format.
• Inoculation of standard and deep-well plates in SLAS/ANSI-format (maximum well depth 30 mm).
• Includes a barcode scanner to identify barcodes on the source and destination plates.
• Imaging part of the system allows to select visual parameters such as radius, amplitude, elongation, conformity, separation and colony colour to automatically identify colonies.
• There is no restriction to the number of parameter files that can be created.
• Easy operation with following steps: scan image, analyze image, edit image and start picking.
• Can pick through agar without damaging the pin(s).
• Pins are cleaned by vacuum and a brush, and sterilization is done with direct heat applied to the pins.
• Continuous cycling of the pins from picking to destination to vacuum wash bath to heater coil.
• Pins are made from robust tungsten.
• Fully compatible with robotic arms such as PlateCrane EX™ to automatically deliver plates to the device.
• Advanced integration with other instruments can easily be done (plug-ins for over 200 instruments already available) assisted by SoftLinx™ laboratory automation software.
• SP dimensions: (w x d x h) 48.1 x 29.18 x 23.62 cm
• MP dimensions: (w x d x h) 53.34 x 43.18 x 68.58 cm
• CE-certified.
