Custom Lab Automation Projects
A modified colony picker
for a global pharmaceutical R&D lab
A senior scientist at a global pharmaceutical company needed high-throughput automated colony picking with two very specific requirements built in. Regional picking, and control clone picking to the lab’s own plate layout. The standard K8 was the right platform. What mattered was engineering those requirements into the system before it arrived, not after. The result: a modified standard product at a fraction of the lead time and cost of a ground-up build, and significant scientist hours returned to complex analytical work.
