Proudly presenting PIXL at Lab innovations 2025 with our friends at Festo

Birmingham, UK

29th – 30th October

Come chat about our incredible instruments in Birmingham with our friends at Festo!

For years we have been collaborating with Festo to accelerate the science of researchers worldwide and making tomorrow’s working world more productive, simpler and sustainable. 

We are grateful to Festo and enthused to showcase our precision PIXL colony picker to you at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre (NEC) on the 29th and 30th October.

PIXL is a robust robot that reliably and precisely picks your colonies ensuring your automated workflows are as smooth and simple as possible.

Avoid cross-contamination, human-error and damaged plates.

Re-array and pick from randomised colonies with ease.

Create and customise your picking routines to tackle the stickiest and challenging microbes.

Beyond bog-standard colony picking

PIXL is packed with more even fantastic features:

• Walkaway automation with robotic arms using our well-documented API.
• Zone of inhibition analysis.
• MALDI-TOF plate loading for identification.

And so much more!*

*Ask Ted at the show about the new exciting features we have in the pipeline for PIXL coming Q1 2026.

We also offer screening, phenotyping and imaging instruments as well- but we couldn’t fit them in!

Leading customer support (Net Promoter Score of 76), over 10,000 citations and 1,000 installations worldwide.

We’re excited to meet you at the Lab innovations conference to see what we and Festo can do to accelerate your science.
