Robust, great service, expensive, and the software leaves a lot to be desired.
Application Area:Colony Picking
"As a colony picker, it does exactly what it is supposed to do. The service team is fantastic, as well as the backend engineering groups. They are great to work with. However, the software itself leaves a lot to be desired. If you want to pick and plate, this is your machine. If you are particular about patterns, or modifications, it can be very expensive to make a change. Couple things, 1mm picking minimum, service packages are the most expensive in the industry (but they are good at what they do). Overall a good machine, but it does leave a lot to be desired in terms of customizability natively built in. The positive of that, is that it's a simple walk up instrument."
