The ProLink Express™ is designed so that colony picking, growth, DNA prep and expression can be run individually or sequentially. All instrumentation faces outward so any component can be used manually. It is powered by our opportunistic SoftLinx™ scheduling software, which finds the most efficient ways to perform processes simultaneously.

A user can run multiple batches in different stages of the process at the same time, or run any instrument individually while operating another, fully automated run.

The ProLink Express integrates an automated colony picker with an incubator and a plasmid DNA prep system. A researcher can start with bacterial colony plates, isolate individual colonies into culture plate wells, grow the individual colonies and then extract the DNA plasmids in one seamless automated process without any human intervention. The system also provides the capability to re-attach DNA inserts onto expression vectors and perform in vitro or in vivo protein expression and detection.

The features and benefits of the ProLink Express make it simply remarkable – and offer multiple application opportunities within molecular biology.  The ProLink Express gives the researcher an unprecedented level of flexibility and modularity not available from any other integrated laboratory system on the market today.
