Molecular Devices QPix 420 HT Microbial Colony Picker

Molecular Devices QPix 420 HT Microbial Colony Picker

Description

The Molecular Devices QPix 420 HT Microbial Colony Picker is an automated system designed for high-throughput screening and selection of microbial colonies. It streamlines the transition from plate-based cultures to downstream analysis by automating the identification, picking, and inoculation of colonies into deep-well plates or microplates. This system is engineered to replace manual picking processes, significantly increasing throughput while maintaining high levels of accuracy and consistency in library management and clone screening workflows.

Key Features

• High-throughput automated colony picking, imaging, and inoculation to reduce manual labour and human error.
• Advanced imaging and software analysis for precise selection based on user-defined morphological criteria.
• Integrated data tracking and plate handling to ensure sample integrity throughout the screening process.
• Versatile compatibility with various microbial types including bacteria, yeast, and fungi.
• Scalable workflow support for large-scale library screening and protein engineering projects.

Applications

• High-throughput screening for synthetic biology and metabolic engineering.
• Protein expression and directed evolution studies.
• Microbial library generation and management.
• Phage display and antibody discovery workflows.
