QPix Flex

QPix Flex Microbial Colony Pickers

Smart colony picking for microbiomes, straight from your benchtop or your hypoxic chamber.

 

Plating, streaking, picking, and liquid handling, all in one compact device? The QPix® FLEX™ Microbial Colony Picker makes it look easy. With advanced color imaging, it helps you spot the right colonies faster. And yes, it fits on your bench or in a hypoxic chamber – because why wouldn’t it? The QPix FLEX system replaces the clutter with one smart, streamlined system built to move your research forward.  

 

 

 

1. High-resolution color and white-light camera

Enables precise colony classification based on morphology and pigmentation – ideal for phenotype-based selection and microbial diversity screening.

2. Multi-function pipetting head (4-channel)

Automates media dispensing, plating, cherry picking, and streaking, reducing manual intervention and ensuring consistent sample preparation.

3. Swappable tip system

You can quickly switch between sterilizable metal pins and disposable tips without changing hardware. Depending on your lab's needs, you can maximize sterility, sustainability, or budget.

4. Integrated barcode reader

Built-in 2D barcode scanning ensures full sample traceability from plating through picking and downstream analysis.

5. Modular labware deck

Supports flexible source and destination labware configurations: Petri dishes, PCR plates, microfuge tubes, 96/384-well plates, and more.

6. Proprietary plating and streaking tip

Gently streaks colonies across agar surfaces with precision, preserving plate quality and minimizing disruption to delicate media.

7. Compact, chamber-ready footprint

Sized for benchtops and hypoxic chamber use (25.2 x 21.6 x 27.6 in), allowing full automation even in space-constrained or anaerobic environments.

8. Automation-ready connectivity

API integration enables connection to robotic arms or full lab automation systems for extended walkaway time and higher throughput.

 

One Instrument. Every Step. Built for Microbiomes. 

End-to-end automation inside and outside hypoxic chambers.
