Pickolo-MI - Robotic Sample Preparation for MALDI-TOF Microbial Identification 

Based on Tecan Freedom EVO and SciRobotics Pickolo.
MALDI-TOF Mass-spectrometry is becoming the leading method for microbial identifications in clinical and food labs based on technologies such as Bruker's Biotyper. The Pickolo-MI™ introduced by Scirobotics Ltd. is providing a state of the art automated solution for sample preparation for MALDI-TOF Microbial identification.
The solution is based on the powerful liquid handling robotic platform by Tecan and Scirobotics' colony-picking add-on, the Pickolo™.
The Pickolo-MI™ benefits our customers with reduced lab effort, prevention of human errors, comprehensive sample tracking, image documentation and automatic reporting and file generation for the BioTyper software.
Features:
• Automatic -- fully automated unattended mode
• Interactive -- user may interactively click on image to select colonies
• Direct smearing -- colony is smeared directly on MALDI target using disposable tip
• Smart algorithm -- specifically designed for automatic colony selection for MALDI
• Sample tracking -- Samples are automatically assigned to spots using a barcode reader
• Friendly interface -- for easy operation and progress tracking
• Documentation -- easy review of plate and colony images from previous runs
• Reports -- Generate reports and sample file for Bruker's Biotyper
