PIXL is developed in collaboration with leading synthetic biology incubators, SynCTI and SynbiCITE, and industrial partners SynthACE.
What is PIXL?
An ultra-reliable and super-easy-to-use microbial colony picker. PIXL automates imaging, colony recognition, colony selection, and picking; from Petri dishes to multiwell plates.
>99% Transfer Efficiency
With precision agar surface detection on every pick PIXL will never miss a colony.
Use Multiple Plate Types
Compatible with most standard plate types, PIXL allows you to create custom workflows to suit your lab’s needs.
Subsurface Picking with PIXL
Pierce the agar to pick submerged colonies or subsurface hyphae. In normal operation, to avoid cross-contamination, you definitely do not want to violently pierce the agar! However, within the settings, agar piercing can optionally be applied to each of your source and target plates.
Pick Diverse Micro-organisms
Out of the box, PIXL is compatible with even the most diverse microorganisms, without the requirement for additional expensive hardware.
2D and 3D mixing of the nozzle head ensures enough colony material is picked for inoculation.
