Mammalian Colony Screening and Selection
Streamline your cell line development with automated high-throughput cloning solutions
Mammalian Colony Screening and Selection
Mammalian colony picking is an advanced laboratory technique for the automated screening and objective selection of high-value clones across various cell types. This process is vital for antibody discovery, cell line development, and other research areas where precision and efficiency are paramount. Our ClonePix® 2 Mammalian Colony Picker is designed to streamline these workflows, significantly reducing time and labor while increasing the probability of identifying optimal clones.
Our ClonePix 2 Mammalian Colony Picker is a fully automated system that allows researchers to screen more clones in less time. This system includes monoclonal verification on day zero, enabling the identification of the highest producers in weeks, not months. It supports various cell types, including hybridomas, CHO cells, and stem cells, ensuring broad application and utility in diverse research settings.
