Hudson Introduces the RapidPick Lite
|
 |
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.

We're Changing our Name!!!
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 Introduces a New
WorkCell to Automate PCR
Preparation and Purification
|
 Many of our customers wish to use the SOLO pipettor to automate the preparation and purification of their PCR reactions. In response, we have developed a SOLOSoft procedure and a corresponding application note to demonstrate how the SOLO can be used to prepare plates that are ready for the thermocycler. This procedure can be run on a standard SOLO, equipped with a shaker nest.

Hudson Publishes Articles on
Advanced SoftLinx Features
|
 Alan H. Katz, Hudson's CSO published two articles on advanced applications of SoftLinx in the creation of "virtual workcells," ie. the effective creation of multiple workcells from a single instrument cluster using different software procedures. Another important concept that was highlighted is "interactive cherry picking," in which user scripts process the data generated by readers, and alter the flow of the method based on the results.
