Singer RoToR HDA - pinning array robot

The Singer RoToR HDA pinning robot is a dedicated system for pinning arrays of yeast and bacteria. It is designed for rapid replication, arraying, mating and breakdown using 96, 384, 1536, or 6144 density of yeast, bacteria, or fungal libraries from one or more source plates to one or more destination plates. Transfers can be made from agar to agar, liquid to liquid, liquid to agar, or agar to liquid.

A Singer Rotor pinning robot is available for pinning arrays of yeast or other microbes. This instrument can be used to cross thousands of yeast strains to aid in yeast two hybrid screening, creation of novel yeast libraries, or replication of bacterial libraries. The Singer can also be use in conjunction with our Our Biomek FX liquid handling robots to create more complex pipelines, including re-arraying, cherry picking, and normalization/dilution of liquid cultures.

Our core has access to several custom yeast libraries or we can help you build you own.
