The QPix® Microbial Colony Picker leverages cutting-edge technology to streamline laboratory workflows by alleviating bottlenecks and minimizing manual, repetitive tasks. This advanced system is extensively utilized for the rapid, accurate, and efficient screening of genetic libraries. In biologics production, adhering to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards is crucial, particularly in ensuring sterility to prevent cross-contamination. The QPix 420 system is equipped with several sterility features, including UV light for interior sanitization, pin washing stations, and halogen pin drying. These features not only ensure compliance with GMP standards but also offer economic advantages through the reusability of pins.
