Hit picking & screening

The right sample. In the right well. Ready for what comes next.

Move selected compounds or samples into new plates without building your process around fixed batches.

Two 96-well plates, each with 8 rows and 12 columns, showing selected samples moving from source to destination
Your next experiment starts here.
Picture your workflow
What happens when your hit list changes?

Start with the worklist, source plates and destination formats. Then shape the picking and verification steps around the samples you actually need.

The workflow challenge

Hit picking, connected.

Screening generates decisions. Turning those decisions into the next set of plates should not become the bottleneck.
