In high throughput biotechnology and synthetic biology labs, microbial screening workflows rely on colony picking as a fundamental step for screening large scale genetic libraries. However, when performed manually across multiple plates, colony picking becomes labour intensive, time consuming, and can introduce variability in precision. As labs scale operations and demand higher throughput, the need for reliable automated colony picking solutions continues to increase. To address these challenges, CURIOSIS developed CPX™ α, integrating imaging, picking, and pin washing into a single automated workflow.
How CPX™-α enables automated colony picking:
- Scale up without the manual bottleneck. With throughput of up to 4,000 colonies per hour, CPX™-α helps labs maintain productivity as workloads grow
- Maintain precise picking across every plate. Motorised pin actuation combined with cross laser calibration keeps pin positioning accurate, even on uneven agar surfaces, delivering up to 99% picking accuracy
- Make colony selection consistent across users. High resolution imaging and user defined selection criteria apply the same rules to every plate, reducing operator variability
