Abstract

We have developed a general strategy for the addition of high-throughput colony picking capability to most standard liquid-handling robotic platform. This strategy is easily implemented and requires minimal capital outlay (less than $2500.00). To illustrate this strategy, we describe the modification of a Caliper Life Sciences Sciclone ALH (Automated Liquid Handler) 3000 together with a general calibration methodology that can be applied to most liquid-handling robot capable of X, Y, Z positioning. This project has been funded in whole or in part with federal funds from the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, under contract N01-CO-12400.
