USED MOLECULAR DEVICES QPIX 450

The Molecular Devices QPix 450 Automated Microbial Colony Picker is a high-throughput automation platform designed for rapid identification, selection, and transfer of microbial colonies from agar plates to microplates or other culture formats. Utilizing advanced imaging and colony analysis software, the system automatically detects colonies based on size, shape, color, fluorescence, and other customizable parameters.

The QPix 450 significantly reduces manual colony picking time while improving reproducibility and throughput. It is widely used in synthetic biology, microbial strain development, genomics, protein expression screening, pharmaceutical research, and industrial biotechnology laboratories.
