already have the desired strains on. The source could
be colonies grown on solid agar, or cultures grown in
liquid media. in solid agar, the rOTOr HdA currently
supports colony density up to 24576. in liquid media,
the rOTOr HdA supports multi-well plates at 96 and

select your Target Plates. They are the plates that
you want your desired strains to grow on. The types
of target plates available are only those compatible
with your previous selection. since we've selected our
source plate as 96 Agar, we won't be able to choose
the target plate density beyond 1536.

make a mistake during plate and rePad™ selection.
