Piccolo Reagent Disc
Piccolo Instrument
Benefits for Healthcare Practitioners
2
Here is the Piccolo family of reagent discs.
There are 13 in total, 11 of which are fully
CLIA waived
This menu represents over 97 of all requested
chemistries.
Click on the front package (the red one) for a
closer look.
3
They are shipped and stored refrigerated and can
be used directly from the refrigerator.
All Piccolo Reagent Discs are individually
packaged and sealed in foil pouches.
Click on the arrow to tear open the pouch and
reveal the reagent disc.
4
The Piccolo technology was originally developed
for use in the Space Shuttle.
Each self-contained reagent disc is single use.
One patient, one disc.
The outer ring has a barcode that contains
calibration, lot, expiration and disc type.
Inside the barcode ring are the cuvettes that
hold the reagent and QC beads.
In the center is a foil cup that contains the
sample diluent.
Centrifugal action mixes the diluted sample and
hydrates the reagent beads.
5
The discs are small and easy to use.
