Automated Transformation, Cell Recovery and Colony Plating Solutions
To create plasmid production strains, transform assembled plasmids into E. coli cells. The Beckman Coulter Life Sciences Biomek i-Series Automated Workstation can automate plasmid assembly, transformation and colony plating. It can also prepare assay plates to quantify transformation efficiency or cell viability. The Molecular Devices QPix 400 series colony pickers can plate, grow and pick microbial colonies for plasmid production. Beckman Coulter Life Sciences and Molecular Devices provide integrated workflow solutions that include incubation, plate reading, barcode reading, viability and robotics to automate the transformation and colony plating steps.
