The Petri-Plater is an add-on device and
software for Tecan robots. The product enables automated sample plating on
Petri-dish using the "Spiral-Plating" method. In this method, the
robot slowly dispenses the sample while the Petri-dish is simultaneously
rotating and linearly moving on the Petri-Plater tray creating a spiral pattern
on the Petri-dish. This pattern gradually spread the bacteria over the plate in
a uniform and repetitive manner. Further more, by controlling the movement
profile of the device the user has the flexibility to control colony spacing
and dilutions across the spiral pattern, achieving better colony isolation pattern.
