Desk-Top Colony Picker  "C-Picker"

Do you have any problems as follows?
  • We would like to perform "Colony Picking", however frequency of "Colony Picking" is not so large to   use a big machine.
  • We hesitate to pick up colony manually though number of  "colony picking" is small.
  • Space of laboratory is too small to set a big Colony Picker.

We realized the desk-top size colony picker "C-Picker" which size has never existed  before. Therefore, we are pleased to provide good solution for everyone who have above problems. Also, our machine has enough function to compare a big colony picker in spite of its small size. 

Our machine "C-Picker" can recognize any objects which has diameter more than 0.2 mm. Please feel free to contact us.

  • Desk-Top size

It is enough small to put in clean bench, so cleaner environment is available for picking. 

 

  • Sterilization Mechanism

Two steps of sterilization, drying with 500 deg. C heating - ethanol brash cleaning.  , protects any contamination.

 

 

  • Easy operation

One push button can start operation. Also, you can monitor present status of operation on a display.

 

 

As an engineering firm, we welcome to accept customizing of product in both of hardware and software. 

For example,

"Change of petri dish"

"Change of number of petri dish"

"Change of software" and so on.

Any requrests for customizing are welcome. Please feel free to contact us. 

Actual results of customizing :

High Density planting type

This is a colony picker which provides minimum pitch less than 1mm. Number of maximum plantation is more than 100. You can make a replica at the same time of transplantation of colony.
