Screening Robotics: RoToR HDA

What is it?

The Singer ROTOR HDA© is a compact benchtop robot for easy, ultra-fast manipulation of high density arrays of yeast, other fungi and bacteria. Reagent sets such as deletion mutant collections and the complete set of cloned yeast genes can be utilised for large-scale 2-hybrid, synthetic genetic array, phenotypic and chemical-genetic analysis. The ROTOR uses plastic replica plating pads and supports liquid pinning to and from 96 and 384 well microtitre plates and agar pinning at densities 96, 192, 384, 768, 1536, 3072 and 6144.

How does it work?

The ROTOR HDA uses a robotic arm and plastic replica plating pads to pick up samples of cells from culture plates. The robotic arm then moves to a new ‘target’ plate and deposits the cells. The operator selects and uses an appropriate program from a simple, drop-down menu.

 
Single Colony Picking: The Stinger
Single Colony Picking: The Stinger The Stinger is the new automated single colony picker by Singer Instruments. The Stinger expands the functionality of the Singer ROTOR HDA robot by enabling the re-arraying of specific individual colonies of interest from high-density agar plates and multi-well dishes. As an automated modular accessory for the ROTOR HDA, The Stinger allows for easy, ultra-fast duplication and rearrangement of high-density library arrays of yeast, other fungi, bacteria and algae.
