MALDI-TOF Spotting from Bacterial Colony with Pickolo on Tecan platform
A fully automated, flexible solution for sample preparation for bacterial identification using MALDI-TOF
The field of microbial identification is changing rapidly with MALDI-TOF Mass Spec becoming the standard. This technology allows for high-throughput, low-cost, reliable and quick bacterial identification but requires the picking and placing (spotting) of up to 192 microbial colonies onto a single MALDI plate and the dispensing of Matrix solution on top. Pickolo by SciRobotics on Tecan platform fully automates this process and includes documenting the petri-dish, picking the colony and placing it and the Matrix solution onto the MALDI plate. Alternatively a manual mode is provided, allowing an operator to either confirm chosen colonies or manually choose the colonies for analysis.
For true "walk-away" MALDI spotting, add PetriSel, SciRobotics' Carousel for Petri-Plates, with a capacity of 180 Petri-Plates.
Prepare 192 samples for MALDI-TOF bacterial identification while eliminating error and providing full sample traceability and process documentation.
Features:
• Imaging and documentation -- Automated imaging and documentation of petri dish
• Automatic or Manual mode -- An operator can either confirm the chosen colonies, choose them on-screen or allow automatic mode for a true "walk-away" solution
• High power camera -- Industrial grade high resolution camera
• Image analysis -- Choose colonies by size, color or other parameters or manually. The colonies picked are documented
• Colony Picking -- Use disposable tips, no cross contamination
• Target Spotting -- Reliably place the colony every time
• Dispense Matrix solution -- Either after spotting or before for quickest operation
• 180 Petri-dish capacity -- Add-on Carousel with 12 flexible stackers allows walk-away operation
• Fast -- Process up to 70 petri dish per hour. Spot up to 140 spots per hour
