Edinburgh Genome Foundry (EGF) is a research facility, located within the University of Edinburgh's Centre for Synthetic and Systems Biology, specializing in the assembly of large DNA fragments using a highly automated platform. These DNA constructs are used to equip cells or whole organisms with new or improved functionality, such as programming stem cells for usin in personalized medicine, proeducing disease-detecting bacteria or increasing the yield of biofuel crops. Our Advanced Workflow Engineering Solutions (AWES) team helped tailor our QPix 420 Colony Picker to meet EGF's goal of providing a fully automatined platfrom for DNA assembly.
