Trusted by 100s of labs world wide

“PIXL for us represented a transformative tool that would really simplify our workflow. It allowed us to go directly from agar plate to agar plate at very high density.”

Professor Matthew chang

“PIXL has unlocked new capabilities that were previously unattainable…we can now perform high-throughput screening of microbial colonies with unprecedented speed and accuracy.”

“PIXL is a powerful tool to pick colonies and rearrange them in different sources. It is quick, efficient, and has a low risk of contamination.”

“I knew PIXL would be well designed and had confidence in Singer Instruments. We build mutant collections up to 200 000 strong to reach good genetic saturation. We pick them with PIXL and maintain them with ROTOR+”

“PIXL was essential for our microbiology research endeavours…It is trustworthy, sturdy, and gets the job done reliably and fast.”

The exclusion of manual errors saves a lot on downstream reagents and consumables. The [PickupLine] filament is even cheaper than using pipette tips.

Kyle Lauersen

The PIXL increases our throughput (and sanity) by over 8-fold. The colony arrays made by the robot are far superior in quality and reproducibility than anything we could do by hand.
