End-to-End Automated Microbial Workflow from Colony to DNA

This video walks through a complete automated microbial workflow, integrating colony plating, picking, growth monitoring, and plasmid DNA quantitation into a single streamlined process. Using the QPix® FLEX Microbial Colony Picker and SpectraMax® microplate readers, researchers can automate traditionally manual steps while maintaining accuracy, sterility, and traceability. This end-to-end workflow enables faster strain screening, reduces variability, and supports applications in synthetic biology, molecular cloning, and microbial research.

Key Takeaways

• Automate plating, streaking, and colony picking
• Monitor microbial growth kinetics in real time
• Perform plasmid DNA quantitation in microplates
• Reduce manual steps and contamination risk
• Enable scalable microbial screening workflows
