應用:

• Picking and placing micro targets (> 5 um) for transferring them.

      o Single cells/cell colonies

         - single cells into PCR tubes

         - circulating tumor cells (CTCs) on microdevices

                - and other cells/colonies

      o Microorganisms

                 - Algae

                 - Fungi

                 - Yeasts

                 - Parasites

                 - And other microooganisms

      o Microdrops

      o Protein crystals

      o Metal particles

      o And MORE

      o *The targets must be in non-adherent status

 

• Micro liquid applying/spotting at the picoliter level.

 

特點: 

The Micro Pick and Place System makes it possible to transfer micro targets such as single cells one by one from one place to another place observing the targets with a microscope. The system is based on the PicoPipet that has a small electroosmotic pump in its pipette part. It allows users to operate the system intuitively and anyone can easily control suction/hold/discharge of ultra small volumes (picoloter range).

 

Example) Picking up a single cell from a dish and discharging the single cell into a PCR tube.

PicoPipet, pico-pipetting device

The PicoPipet is an electronic ultra-small-pipetting device that has an electroosmotic pump in its pipette part. The special pump can easily control microfluidic flows without pulsation. The weight of the pipette part is just 10 g, and that enables precise manipulations.

* Smooth suction, hold and discharge are possible by simple rotating operations.

* The flow rate is 1 nl/min - 5 ul/min.

* A replaceable glass micropipette is connected to the tip of the pipette part.

 

* The pipette part can be operated with a manipulator. (If the target is large, the pipette part can be operated with one hand).

 

PicoPipet holder 40 mm 

The PicoPipet holder is for holding the pipette part and being attached to a manipulator. The light weight helps precise manipulations by a manipulator. The position of the pipette part can be flexible because the angle of holding the pipette part can be changed freely. There are three different holder lentghs; 40 mm, 80 mm, and 150 mm. The 15 mm version has a clamp for fixing the holder to a manipulator.

 

 

Compass, video microscope

The Compass is a video microscope that works by a unique pattern-projection method. The images of transmissive objects like cells can be high-contrast and 3D-shape views under the simple optical system. With the PicoPipet, you can conveniently transfer a cell from one container to another while monitoring the process on the screen. The total mafnification is 52x-425x (similar to microscope objective 20x).

Joystick manipulator

The joystick manipulator is a manual control micromanipulator that has a joystick bar to intuitively operate the PicoPipet pipette part at XY axis. The brass bracket part enables the manipulator shape to be flexibly changed according to the microscope environment
