 RapidPick™ - Specifications
Speed: ~6000 colonies/hr
Calibration: Each tip is calibrated in
a process that takes 5 minutes. This is a key advantage over systems that rely
on calibration from 1 pin; any deviation in the calibration pin will cause other
systems to miss colonies.
Image Processing: Only 1 image is used to
identify all of the colonies on a plate. As you know other pickers use multiple
images that get reconstructed, reconstructed images require an overlap parameter
that throws away about 10% of your colonies.
Selection Efficiency: It is an
industry standard that only ~72% of all human pickable colonies can be selected
and picked by our competitors. The RapidPick™ collects ~90%.
Tip Cleaning: Tips are cleaned with
water from a large carboy followed by sterilization in a 300C oven. This means
no EtOH bath to evaporate causing contamination
Automated Media Filling: Eliminates
the need to dispense media at a separate workstation. The micro10's features
make it a perfect match for this application.
Including:
AutoPrime:
Primes the system if there was not a dispense during the
user determined time interval. This prevents
media from drying on the
tip ends.
NO Check Valves:
There is only 1 moving part in the micro10 fluid
path, a ceramic piston, check valves do fail and
cause miss dispensing.
Intelligent Fill:
The RapidPick knows when the best time to fill the next
destination plate, this allows parallel
processing and eliminates waiting
for fresh media plates.
Sealing: Inoculated culture plates are
sealed and put to an output stack or directly into an optional incubator.
Sample Tracking: All sample movements
are tracked by the system using the following techniques.
Source Destination:
A data file is generated showing all of the colony parameters associated with a
sample that transferred from a colony tray to a destination plate. A photo of
the exact colony collected can be archived and associated with the destination
well too.
Library Control:
Either 1 RapidPick™ of a network of RapidPicks can work against a
library pick requirement. This is used to prevent over or under picking for a
project.
Available Modules:
Gel Plate Pouring: Adds Agar to the
empty colony trays
Plating of Transformations Without Glass Beads:
Distributes transformations onto the agar plates.
Incubation: Several Automated
Incubators are compatible with the RapidPick, with an integrated incubator;
colonies trays can be monitored for optimum colony size prior to the start of
the picking process. Additionally, when optimum conditions are met, the
incubator can be cooled and humidity controlled to prevent overgrowth and
condensation.
