Cyclone-Automated Liquid Sample Processor (COPAN)
THE CYCLONE™ IS A FULLY AUTOMATED INSTRUMENT FOR POUR PLATING, SPIRAL PLATING, AND SPREADING LIQUIFIED SAMPLES FOR THE FOOD SAFETY INDUSTRY
This flexible platform allows for the customization of all aspects of the plating protocol including, sample container type, inoculation volumes, sample mixing, dilution set and agar type(s). Protocol selection can utilize bi-directional communication with any LIMS system to automatically identify the sample, determine protocol settings, and report sample status. The system is capable of managing a high throughput of sample dilutions and can handle multiple molten agars simultaneously. The CYCLONE™ is compatible with Smart Incubation and Imaging Modules for complete plate incubation management, optimizing growth conditions for faster resulting. Built-in imaging and software provide a platform for Digital Microbiology and the use of Artificial Intelligence to automatically perform colony counts and detect the presence or absence of target pathogens, such as Salmonella, Listeria, or E.coli
