Description

Compared to individually picking of single colonies (toothpick) from a Petri dish and transferring them to standard multiwell plates, the schuett PickMaxX II may pick up to
12 colonies in a row and transfer them all at the same time to the 96-multiwell plate.

This highly increases the efficiency of the process as well as the throughput.

Sterile disposable foil combs are used for picking cell colonies (96-format). It takes approx.
5 minutes to inoculate a complete 96-multiwell plate.

Quick screens in-between are possible. No setup time required as compared with a picking robot. The PickMaxX II is useful in bridging servicing times of a picking robot.
