QPix FLEX Microbial Colony Picker

Description

The QPix FLEX is a microbial colony picking system designed for automated selection and transfer of colonies in microbiology workflows. It utilizes a high-resolution 20-megapixel CMOS color camera for colony imaging and identification. The system is equipped with custom LED lighting, providing both top illumination and trans-illumination wavelengths to enhance colony contrast and detection accuracy. Data transfer and system control are facilitated via a USB 3.0 interface. This instrument is used for tasks such as clone screening, library management, and strain development, aiming to increase throughput and reproducibility compared to manual picking methods.
