Hudson Lab Automation designs and manufactures robotic and automated laboratory equipment and software for liquid handling, microplate automation, colony picking, protein crystallization, and pH measurement. It unifies the Hudson Robotics, Art Robbins Instruments, and Tomtec brands.
Automated colony picker family for microbial, yeast, fungal, and filamentous colonies, spanning a single-pin benchtop unit up to a fully integrated workcell rated for up to 30,000 colonies per day.
Automated liquid handling systems: SOLO, Scorpion pipetting robot, Quadra5, Micro10x dispenser, ARI Cobra nano dispenser, RapidWash microplate washer, and FilterPress extraction system.
Robotic and track-based systems moving SBS-standard microplates between lab instruments: PlateCrane EX/SciClops arms, LabLinx delivery, PA1000 barcode printer, and CytoLoader for flow cytometry.
Integrated multi-instrument workstations, including the Protean Workstation, Synthetic Biology Workstation (FilterPress paired with SOLO), and the Quadra5 liquid handling workstation.
Nano-scale dispensing, imaging, and mixing instruments for structural biology: Crystal Gryphon/Phoenix dispensers, CrysCam imaging systems, LCP Mixing Station, and Scorpion Screen Builder.
Plate-based automated pH measurement systems for formulation and process development, pH 0.0-14.0 (+/-0.05), with standard, temperature-compensated, viscous-sample, and CFR 21 Part 11 variants.
Workcell control software with a drag-and-drop protocol editor and dynamic scheduler, integrating with over 200 lab instruments via plug-ins and exporting data to LIMS and databases.
Custom-branded instrument manufacturing and integration for reagent and instrument manufacturers, delivered through a five-step process: feasibility, orientation, development, and training.
