SGA Robotics: RoToR HDA
Singer RoToR Colony pinning robotThese robot babies are already pinning arrays of yeast and bacteria in 60 labs worldwide! Naturally, they all come with a beer bottle opener fitted as standard. And now we've gone touch-screen, and the software is even more intuitive. Replicate, mate, re-array or backup your yeast or bacteria library in standard 96, 384, 768, 1536, 3072, 6144 array formats from one (or multiple) source plate(s) to one (or multiple) target plate(s) on agar or in liquid medium. In minutes! And at the touch of a button! Read more...

 Singer RoToR Colony pinning robot
The Singer RoToR HDA is a very small benchtop robot for easy ultra-fast manipulation of high density arrays of yeast or bacteria. It allows reagents sets such as deletion mutant collection and the complete set of cloned yeast genes to be utilised for large-scale two hybrid, synthetic genetic array, phenotypic and chemical-genetic analysis. The RoToR uses plastic replica plating pads and supports liquid pinning to and from 96 and 384 well microtitre plates and agar pinning at densities 96, 384, 768, 1536, 3072 and 6144.
