Isolation Bio Prospector Discover Platform

The Isolation Bio-Prospector Discover platform is an automated system designed for high throughput microbial cultivation, screening and isolation. With aims to discover novel microorganisms, enzymes and bioactive compounds through parallel cultivation under various environmental conditions.

Precise environmental control is Prospector Discover Platform’s main boast. A wide range of previously unculturable microbes are able to be simulated in high throughput by integrating liquid handling, real-time monitoring and custom user defined growth parameters that allow for efficient microbial isolation. This system supports applications in natural discovery, synthetic biology, microbiome research and even industrial biotechnology.
