ClonePix 2 Mammalian Colony Picker

The ClonePix™ 2 Mammalian Colony Picker is a fully automated system for the selection of high-value clones used in antibody discovery and cell line development. Hybridoma, CHO cells, and other cell types are imaged and selected based on user-defined parameters. Plate handling, barcode reading, and picking are all fully integrated. All data, including images, are saved for downstream analysis. The picker increases the probability of finding optimally produced cell lines and significantly reduces time and labor. Screen more clones in less time: ClonePix 2 picker is 10x faster than labor-intensive limiting dilution and FACS. Our sophisticated software and integrated robotics enables a picking speed of > 10,000 clones per day. Select cells with desirable attributes: Easily screen and select clones based on protein productivity, antigen-specificity, cell viability, and expression levels of tagged recombinant proteins. Pick colonies with accuracy: Picking accuracy < 1 mm. Robotic picking reduces risk of colony disturbance. Images of picked clones are stored with data.
