ROTOR+ TRANSFER SPECIFICATION
| TRANSFER EFFICIENCY | Is very high across all the RePad and array combinations. The transfer is proven to be 99.68% in S. cerevisiae and 99.94% in E. coli. |
| RePads DATA | Uses Singer RePads: high-quality plastic replica-plating pads to transfer colonies between plates. Singer RePads are available in two pin lengths: short for agar-to-agar colony transfer and long for transferring cells in liquid culture |
| SHORT-PIN REPADS | Come in a range of densities: 96, 384, 1536 and 6144. Our long-pin RePads are available in 96 and 384 formats, allowing transfer from shallow and deep multi-well microtitre dishes. |

“I can’t speak highly enough about these two instruments. We have had them up and running for 6 months in our lab, and together, they have been a game-changer in terms of throughput and reproducibility.”
Prof. Kyle Lauersen, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology.
