Automated Colony Picking
High-Throughput & High-Quality Arraying of cDNA or
Genomic Clones into Microtiter Plates
Source BioSciences Automated Clone Arraying Service provides
fast and easy access to cDNA or genomic libraries arrayed in
barcode-labelled 96-well or 384-well microtiter plates. 10,000 to
15,000 clones are routinely arrayed per day.
Ordering
For ordering please contact our sales
team.
Application
Clones arrayed in microtiter plates allow the unambiguous
addressing of each clone. Gridded clone collections are the
prerequisite for the generation of macroarrays or microarrays, for
the generation of ordered clone pools or for PCR amplifications of
individual clones.
Product Range
Source BioSciences service encompasses the following
steps:
- Transformation
- Titer determination
- Plating of bacterial suspension onto agar plates
- Blue/white selection upon request
- Arraying of clones into barcode-labelled microtiter plates
(384-well or 96-well)
- Generation of mictrotiter plate copies of arrayed
libraries
- Library storage upon request
- Stringent quality control: >99,9% vital clones, no
contaminations with bacteriophages or other non-E. coli
microorganisms
Product Specifications
Arrayed libraries are certified as "free of contamination". They
are delivered on dry ice along with storage and handling
recommendations as well as information about the applied
barcode.
Quality Control
Clone arraying and drawing of plate copies applying fully
automated devices and sterile working conditions prevents the
introduction of cross-contamination and contamination with
microorganisms. However, all plates (each clone) is checked by a
three step quality procedure. All quality-control results are
electronically documented and available to our customers on
demand.
