This system automates template preparation and chip loading, reducing hands-on time while maintaining high reproducibility and process consistency.

Key technical features include:

  • Precise liquid handling capabilities ensuring accurate reagent and sample processing
  • Robust process control and automation to support medium to high-throughput labs
  • Compatibility with clinical diagnostics, molecular biology research, and applied genomics applications
  • Designed to deliver high-quality, reliable sequencing data through standardized sample prep workflows

This automation platform is widely adopted in biotechnology research fields such as synthetic biology, bioprocessing, molecular diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. It is critical for increasing laboratory productivity and enhancing reproducibility in complex sample preparation workflows, making it essential for applications like gene editing validation and targeted sequencing studies.

Why Questpair exists

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.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
