A microbial colony picker is a laboratory automation instrument designed to streamline and automate the process of selecting and picking microbial colonies grown on agar plates. In microbiology research, scientists often culture microorganisms on solid growth media, resulting in the formation of visible colonies. The microbial colony picker utilizes advanced robotics and imaging technology to identify and pick individual colonies with precision and efficiency. Typically equipped with a robotic arm, a camera system, and specialized software, these instruments can analyze the colonies based on predefined criteria such as size, shape, color, or other characteristics. Once identified, the robotic arm can pick the selected colonies using a sterile picking mechanism, allowing for precise isolation of microbial samples. This automation significantly accelerates the colony-picking process, enabling high-throughput workflows and reducing the manual labor required in microbiological research and applications such as strain selection, genetic engineering, or drug discovery. The microbial colony picker enhances the reproducibility of experiments, reduces the risk of contamination, and increases the overall efficiency of microbiological workflows in research and industrial settings.
The global Microbial Colony Picker market size is projected to grow from US$ 32.2 million in 2024 to US$ 43.8 million in 2030; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2024 to 2030.
