- Isolation of rare and slow growing microbes
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:
- Cultivate rare and slow-growing microbes
- Generate large, diverse libraries
- Grow thousands of microcolonies in parallel
- Automatically pick and transfer single isolates into a standard multi-well plate
