Singer - Model PhenoBooth+ -Automatic Colony Picker
Automatic colony picking has not always been as reliable as a human with a toothpick. The PhenoBooth+ and The Stinger changed this. Incredible accuracy and repeatability, not subject to mood swings or hangovers. The Colony Picking Upgrade is a software package that integrates the PhenoBooth+ Colony Imager with ROTOR+ the high-throughput array pinning robot. It is not a standalone product.
What is it?
The Colony Picking Upgrade is a software package for the PhenoBooth+ Colony Counter. It boasts micron precise coordinate export of randomly distributed colonies on agar, for re-arraying in liquid or agar using The Stinger Colony Picker and ROTOR+.
How does it work?
Use PhenoBooth+ to acquire high-resolution images of your colonies on agar. Use inbuilt filters to detect upper and lower thresholds of your phenotype of interest. Then batch apply these filters across all of your images with a single-click.
The Colony Picking Upgrade implements meticulously calculated algorithms to translate pixel coordinates to fractions of millimetres. Seamlessly export these coordinates to .CSV to be read by The Stinger Colony Picker.
