Image plates of organisms such as yeast, fungi,
bacteria and algae grown on solid or in liquid media.
Select hits by phenotypes such as size, optical density,
circularity or colour. Transfer cells from hits onto solid
or into liquid media. And much, much more.
It produces high-resolution images of SBS-format
plates using a 13 megapixel camera using SpectraStar™
illumination; a choice of ultra-flat darkfield or ultra-flat
transmission illumination. It uses image recognition
algorithms to select hits by phenotypes that you can set
in intuitive and easy-to-use software. With unrivalled
accuracy, it automatically picks cells from hits using
high-quality, re-usable, stainless steel pins. It can
process up to five plates and will automatically navigate
the fastest possible routes for picking efficiency.
What can I ·· High-precision colony picking.
use it for? ·· Picking colonies based on size, density, pixel count,
circularity or colour.
·· Transfer cells from liquid media or an agar surface, to
another liquid media or agar surface.
·· Producing custom arrays or collections of functionallyrelated strains or mutants.
·· Re-arraying existing collections.
·· High-resolution image capture of plates (for growth
assays and advanced time-lapse imaging).
·· Phenotyping experimental results with normalisation,
scoring, batch analysis and visualisation.

How
accurate
can it pick?
Singer Instruments understand the importance of
your research, so we take the accuracy of our instrumentation very seriously. The PhenoBooth uses a 13
Megapixel CMOS camera with auto focus, providing
highly accurate, absolute colony coordinates. The
Stinger is driven by motors accurate to 5μm, and the
kinematic plate location bays ensure that picking
performance is unrivalled in terms of repeatability
and accuracy.
Is it easy
to use?
The Singer Colony Picking Platform is designed so
that postdocs, students or even your PI can operate
the instruments in a matter of minutes! No need for a
dedicated technician or hours of training; our simple
and intuitive software guides you through protocols
with ease.
