Leading microbiologists challenged us to achieve flawless colony isolation.
We delivered the PIXL colony picker.
Perform high-throughput screening of microbial colonies with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
1700+ happy microbiologists and counting.
“I chose PIXL because it is the most accurate and reliable colony picker that I’ve seen.
The throughput is slightly lower than some colony pickers, but it’s agar detection and transfer rates are better, which is more important to us when picking our valuable libraries.”
Professor Patrick Cai, co-founder of the Edinburgh Genome Foundry
99% transfer efficiency
With agar surface detection on every pick, PIXL will never miss a colony, damage plates or splash cells all over the place.
Train everyone
90% of the functionality can be learned in as little as 10 minutes. Long gone are the days of needing specialist technicians.
Unique picking technology
33,000 sterile, disposable tips in a single, low-cost PickupLine. That’s <2 cents per pick, cheaper than a pipette tip.
