Hudson's RapidPick 'Lite' is 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.

The RapidPick 'Lite' Work Station

The two primary hardware components of the RapidPick 'Lite' are the PlateCrane EX and the CP7200 Colony Picker.  Typically, the PlateCrane is equipped with either 5 or 10 stacks for holding microplates and omni-trays.  Also available are barcode scanners to track source and destination identifications.  Like its bigger brother, the RapidPick workcell, the RapidPick 'Lite':

Is TWICE as fast as any other picker;

Has greater PLATE CAPACITY and ACCURACY;

Achieves >99% OUTGROWTH of picked colonies.
