Phil Farrelly, President, Hudson Robotics, Inc.
Effective June 1, 2009 our company name will become Hudson Robotics, Inc.
Founded in 1983, our company's original name was Hudson Robotics, Inc. As the nature of our business during the late 1980's moved more into engineered control systems as well as integrated robot systems, we changed our name to Hudson Control Group, Inc. in 1992. Virtually all of you know us by that name today, and the few who may remember Hudson Robotics are very few.
Hudson Control is now offering the RapidPick ‘Lite’ a scaled –down version of our highly-regarded RapidPick Workcell for users who need high speed colony-picking but can’t afford, or don’t wish, to couple the automated plate-handling and picking/re-arraying functions with the RapidPick’s immediate pre-pick media filling and immediate post-pick sealing of the growth/daughter plate. The RapidPick ‘Lite’ offers all the capacity, throughput and picking/re-arraying features of the RapidPick workcell, but without media dispensing or plate sealing. And, the RapidPick ‘Lite’ fits conveniently on most lab benchtops, taking up an absolute minimum of valuable laboratory real estate. Click here for more information
