Introduction to ClonePix 2
Manufactured by Molecular Devices (New Milton) Ltd.
ClonePix™ 2 is a dedicated solution for imaging, identification, and selective picking of
antibody or protein secreting cells. The technology is based on quantitative fluorescence
detection. The system is also compatible with direct fluorescence (e.g. GFP expression).
Automated delivery and lid removal of 1 well and 6 well micro-plate format plates to on
board imaging station and dispersal of picked colonies to 96 well plates.
Fluorescent imaging using a choice of five filter sets.
Colonies selected on the basis of size, shape and proximity to neighbors.
Colonies ranked based on fluorescent intensity of the colony or the secreted product.
Automated selective picking using high precision picking pins with proprietary cleaning
routine between each pick.
Intuitive Windows
®
-based software allows you to easily set up multiple picking processes and
analyze the results. For detailed information about the software please see the ClonePix 2
Software Application Manual.
