GFP
fluorescence imaging and sophisticated analysis of picking microbial and Hybridoma
clones.optional extension for the Pickolo colony-picker add-on
Fluorescence colonies are widely
used in research labs screening operations. With the GFPickolo extension, the
Pickolo colony-picker add-on for Tecan robots can now perform fluorescence
imaging of colonies expressing GFP (and optionally other fluorophores) and
select the colonies based on sophisticated and flexible criteria combining
properties from both back-light imaging and fluorescent imaging. Screening and
isolation of monoclonal mammalian cell lines such as Hybridomas, CHO cell lines
microbial clones and others can now be performed efficiently with the new GFPickolo extension. Extension features

industrial grade camera and lens (10MB)
- Optical filter for the
fluorescence imaging

backlight and fluorescent images
- Diverse selection criteria
by: total fluorescence, average fluorescence, max fluorescence and other
criteria
- Halo fluorescent
analysis of secreted factors
- Batch mode analysis: Select
your best clones from a batch of
multiple plates
- Image Documentation of
selected clones
- Optional support
for alternative fluorophores
