Record-Breaking Speed and Accuracy with AI Integration
Singer Instruments has launched the PIXL Max, a revolutionary automated colony picker that delivers a verified picking speed of over 3,000 colonies per hour with 99.8% accuracy. This leap in performance is powered by a newly developed AI detection system and an expanded six-head picking mechanism.
"Going from one picking head to six was just the beginning. By combining this with a powerful new AI detection system, we’ve created a leap in speed and efficiency not seen in this market for nearly a decade," said Harry Singer, CEO of Singer Instruments.
Building on the success of previous models, which have collectively saved scientists more than 38 years of manual work since 2017, the PIXL Max is poised to significantly enhance research in areas such as:
- Phage therapy
- Cancer research
- Climate change
- Antimicrobial resistance
Independent Innovation from a Family-Owned Company
Based in rural Somerset, UK, Singer Instruments is holding its own in a market dominated by major scientific conglomerates.
"We’re competing against multibillion dollar budgets in a market renowned for mergers and acquisitions," said Jack Boyles, Sales and Marketing Director. "Our team of scientists and engineers have been working relentlessly to bring this breakthrough to market, and we’re confident we now have a solution for our customers that simply can’t be beaten."
Designed for the Lab and Beyond
PIXL Max also sets itself apart through its design philosophy. "Laboratory instruments don’t have to look boring," said Singer. "Scientists spend a lot of time around these machines, often in rooms with no windows or plants. We decided long ago that we didn’t have to follow the norm when it came to instrument design."
Its distinctive finish and the innovative PickupLine™ filament enable reliable picking across a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and bacteriophages.
Global Availability
PIXL Max is now available for global orders. Researchers and institutions interested in a demonstration or more information can register their interest on the Singer Instruments website.
