Looking for a high-quality microbial colony picker to save time and increase accuracy in genetic library screening? Try the QPix® Microbial Colony Picker!
Discover why research institutes, sequencing facilities, biotech, and pharmaceutical companies worldwide use over 600 QPix systems every day.
This cutting-edge system uses the latest and greatest in colony-picking technology to help you quickly and efficiently screen through even the largest genetic libraries with ease. With its easy-to-use software and precision robotics, you can rest assured that you'll get the right colonies every time. Plus, the QPix® system is more than just a colony picker - it also automates several key sample preparation and plate handling processes, including transferring bacterial liquid culture and plating on agar.
With its built-in database and sample tracking capabilities, you can be sure that all of your data will be safely recorded and easily accessible whenever you need it. Whether you're part of a small research team or a large biotech company, the QPix® system is the perfect choice for increasing the accuracy and throughput of your workflow, while still allowing for future growth.
Key Benefits
Identify colonies with a desired phenotype
The QPix colony pickers support a wide variety of microorganisms and multiple selection modalities, including fluorescence intensity, blue/white selection, size and proximity, and zone of inhibition.
Select colonies efficiently
A suite of organism-specific pin and agar sensor ensure efficient picking. The system delivers a picking efficiency of >98%, allowing you to walkaway with confidence.
Maintain Sterility
A host of sterility features are available including a UV light for sanitizing the interior of the instrument, as well as pin washing, and halogen drying of pins.
Basic design for automating colony picking with small footprint. Ideal system to replace manual with automated picking and allows for a flexible bed setup and labware use.
QPix 450/460
From plating to picking – increase throughput with up to 210 destination plates in three stacker lanes. Optional fluidics for plating and streaking allows you to plate and pick samples.
QPix HT
Flexible, modular, and fully automated colony picking and library management system is ready for robotics integration for maximum throughput and walkaway time.
QPix XE
Ideal for small lab spaces with no compromise on efficiency, with advanced imaging and robotic capabilities. The modular platform allows for further integration into an automated work cell for throughput growth or walk-away time.
