The Q Pix® Microbial Colony Picker leverages best-in-class colony picking technology to alleviate bottlenecks and quickly, accurately, and efficiently screen through massive genetic libraries. The easy-to-use, intuitive software guides users through setting up colony picking runs where precision robotics pick the right colonies every time. In addition to microbial screening, the system automates several sample preparation and plate handling processes such as transfer of bacterial liquid culture and plating on agar.
Automated microbial screening system capable of picking up to 3,000 colonies per hour.
Data is automatically recorded into the machine’s database, providing users with a complete audit trail and sample tracking, ensuring that no data is ever lost. Our modular, scalable series of colony pickers allows groups of all sizes to increase the accuracy and throughput of their workflow, while still allowing for future throughput growth.
Identify colonies with a desired phenotype.
The Q Pix 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 walk away 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.
Features
Organism-specific pins
- Different shape and picking area pins maximize efficiency for E. coli, phage, and yeast. Plating-specific pins ensure uniform distribution of liquid culture onto agar.
Plating and Spreading
- Automated plating and streaking of 96 samples can be done in 30 minutes, providing greater walk-away time.
Agar sensing
- Ultrasonic agar height sensor detects differences in height resulting from variable pouring volume enabling maximum picking efficiency.
Multiple imaging modes
- Colonies can be picked based on pre-specified parameters using white light, fluorescence, and color. The use of filters enables applications such as blue-white colony screening.
Replication, grid and hit picking.
- Automated plate handling and tracking streamlines downstream assay and sample management. Q Pix colony pickers provides flexible plate replication, gridding, and hit-picking capabilities.
Scalable automation options
- The Q Pix HT model is a robot compatible solution with a modular deck. The Advanced Workflow Engineering Solutions Team can tailor a colony picker with a variety of custom services.
Automate your workflow with the Q Pix colony picker.
Colony picking is an essential step in biological research as scientists often isolate microbial clones in order to mass produce DNA or proteins to be used in a variety of applications downstream. Traditionally, colony picking is performed manually using sterile pipette tips or inoculation loops, which are usually slow, labor-intensive, and time-consuming. Not only will automated colony pickers make the entire process quicker, but the results are more consistent and reliable.
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.
