Chapter 6: Picking Processes
The QPix 450 Colony Picking System or QPix 460 Colony Picking System can pick colonies
from receptacles using either standard picking or regional picking. You can set up control wells
for the destination plates before running a picking process.
The following options are available in the Navigation window under Picking Processes:
Picking picks colonies from receptacles using the standard process described in this
chapter.
Blue-White Picking picks blue or white colonies from receptacles using the standard
process. See
Blue-White Picking Processes on page 81
.
Zone of Inhibition Detection Picking picks colonies with detectable zones of inhibition from
receptacles using the standard process. See
Zone of Inhibition Detection Picking
.
Regional Picking picks colonies from receptacles using the regional process. See
Blue-White Regional Picking picks blue or white colonies from receptacles using the
regional process. See
Blue-White Regional Picking Processes on page 139
Control Plate Creation creates a batch of plates containing control samples. These can be
created by picking colonies from source receptacles into destination wells. See
Plate Creation Processes on page 159
.
Create New Regional Tray adds new plate source definitions to the regional picking plate
type database, which can then be selected for use in the regional picking process. See
Manage Regional Tray Processes on page 173
Note: Before running a picking process, it is important that you do the cleaning and set
up procedures in
Preparing to Run Processes on page 29
If this is the first picking process, you must edit or create a Sanitise profile to use with the
picking process. See
Creating and Editing Sanitise Profiles on page 51
Depending on the features of your system, you can use either white light or fluorescence
imaging for the picking processes. If you have a white light only system and would like to add
fluorescence capability, contact your Molecular Devices representative or technical support.
See
Note: If you have a fluorescence imaging module on your system and run a picking
process that uses white light only, the process takes longer than a white light picking
process on a white light only system, since the fluorescence imaging module captures
more images during the process.
