Genetix ClonePix FL Mammalian Colony Picker

The Genetix ClonePix FL is a state-of-the-art colony picker that advances the art of cell line selection by integrating fluorescent imaging capabilities into its operation. Building upon the acclaimed Genetix white light ClonePix, this model offers a significant leap forward in intelligent colony selection, streamlining the process of biopharmaceutical development while curtailing the associated costs and time constraints in comparison to traditional methods like limited dilution or cell sorting.

Key Specifications:

• White light imaging: Offers both trans-illumination for low contrast colony imaging and epi-illumination for real-time collection imaging.
