Genetix QPix Colony Picker ++ NICE ++ This sale includes the following: * Genetix QPix Colony Picker * Computer Controller w/ Qsoft 2000 Picking Software installed ( no original media available ) * Bambi 35/20 Air Compressor * New Spare Stepping Motor, mount & gear set * New Spare Baldor FlexDrive servo motor controller The Genetix QPix is a benchtop colony picking and gridding/macroarraying robotics used for both high throughput mapping and sequencing, and also for preparation of quality genomic or cDNA libraries for microarraying or other screening. QPix picking function automatically picks colonies or plaques from culture trays (petri dishes, 22cm2 bioassay trays or omnitrays) and then it inoculates them into 96 or 384 well plates. The QPix can pick up to 3,500 colonies per hour. A CCD camera is used to image the colonies or plaques. The user then specifies the picking threshold related to the color, roundness and proximity of the clones and a digital script is written. The computer then guides the robot's picking arm, equipped with a 96 pin picking head, in the colony picking process. Once the 96 pins have picked colonies, the arm inoculates pre-filled 96 or 384 well microtiter plates. The picking head is then sent to the washing station for washing and sterilization, and then it is ready for the next picking round. QPix gridding function transfers and arrays colony libraries from culture plates onto filter membranes. The gridding source are 96 or 384 well microtiter plates and the destination filters can be put down on wetted filter blocks or onto agar trays. We will also take money orders. |
