Automated microbial colony picker with imaging and plate handling for high-throughput screening and biomanufacturing.
The Molecular Devices QPix 420 Automated Microbial Colony Picker System is a precision instrument designed for high-throughput microbial screening and efficient plate management in biotechnology and microbiology laboratories. This automated colony picker integrates accurate colony identification, picking, and imaging capabilities, supporting rapid and reliable microbial phenotyping essential for molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows.
Key features include:
This system is widely adopted for automated microbial colony picking and imaging, making it indispensable in microbial genetics, gene editing experiments, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. Note that the system requires onsite collection (Cambridge, UK) due to packaging constraints.
The QPix 420 enhances laboratory throughput and data accuracy, supporting advanced research and industrial applications in the biotechnology sector.
Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.
We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.
We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
