The Prospector® discovery platform

The Prospector® discovery platform

Cultivation Array

An exponential increase in scale and throughput

The system self-sorts individual microbes into 6000+ nanoscale cultivation chambers, growing thousands of micro-colonies in parallel. This packs the sampling power of 10s to 100s of culture dishes into one single experiment.

Advantages of our cultivation array:
