Ceros Experience QPix FLEX-New

High-resolution color and white light camera

Do More with Every Pipette

See the Whole Picture — In Full Color

The QPix FLEX is equipped with a high-resolution color and white light camera that captures sharp, true-to-life images of every colony. Whether you're screening by morphology, pigmentation, or contrast, the clarity of color imaging makes it easier to distinguish subtle variations—so you can confidently select the colonies that matter most.

Why juggle multiple instruments when one can do it all? The QPix FLEX system features a built-in 4-channel pipettor that automates media dispensing, plating, streaking, cherry picking, and even glycerol addition, with no extra hardware required. By consolidating complex liquid handling tasks into a single, programmable system, the QPix FLEX eliminates the inefficiencies and inconsistencies of manual workflows or separate pipetting tools. The result? Fewer errors, faster turnaround, and reproducible results you can trust, every time.

Whether your priority is sterility, sustainability, or speed, the QPix FLEX adapts. Effortlessly switch between sterilizable metal pins and disposable plastic tips – no hardware swaps, no recalibration. Use metal pins to reduce plastic waste and enjoy longer walk-away time thanks to built-in sterilization. Or choose disposable tips to skip wash cycles and speed through high-throughput runs. You have full flexibility to tailor performance to your lab’s workflow without compromise.

Choose Your Tip, Keep Your Workflow

The QPix FLEX comes equipped with a built-in 2D barcode reader that automatically tracks every plate and colony from start to finish – no manual labeling, logging, or second guessing. By linking barcode scans directly to the software, the QPix FLEX gives researchers full visibility into sample history, making it easy to reproduce results, maintain data integrity, and stay audit-ready. It’s sample tracking made simple – and built right in.

Know Every Move Your Samples Make

The QPix FLEX system is designed to work the way your lab does. Its modular deck supports a wide range of labware – Petri dishes, PCR plates, microfuge tubes, and 96-/384-well plates – allowing seamless transitions between plating, streaking, and picking without switching systems. By consolidating complex, multi-step workflows into a single compact platform, FLEX reduces manual transfers, cuts down on contamination risk, and boosts throughput. The result? Up to eight hours of manual labor saved daily and microbial screening that runs like clockwork.

One Deck, Every Format

The QPix FLEX system features a custom-engineered streaking tip designed specifically for agar applications. It gently distributes cells across the surface with precision, preserving the integrity of the media while delivering consistent colony spacing for optimal growth and visibility. By automating this delicate step, the QPix FLEX minimizes the risk of disruption to soft or sensitive media and eliminates variability introduced by manual techniques, ensuring every plate is research-ready, every time.

Spread with Confidence

Proprietary plating & streaking tip

At just 25.2 x 21.6 x 27.6 inches, the QPix FLEX is built to fit – and thrive – where other automation can’t. Its compact footprint, rugged hardware, and sterilizable tips make it ideal for use inside hypoxic or anaerobic chambers. Designed with microbiome and anaerobic researchers in mind, the QPix FLEX enables automated plating and colony picking in low-oxygen environments, helping labs accelerate discovery and standardize workflows – even in the most space-restricted or sensitive conditions.
