Introducing the QPix FLEX microbial colony picker
The QPix FLEX system streamlines microbial research by automating tasks that were traditionally time-consuming and manual—colony picking, plating, and streaking—all within a compact instrument that fits easily on your benchtop or inside a hypoxic chamber.

 | | A new study in Nature Microbiology shows that under carbon starvation, marine bacteria split into two strategies: some stop moving to conserve energy, while others keep swimming by consuming biomass—offering new insights into oceanic carbon cycling. | | | | A study highlights that microbial interdependencies are key to survival in lab settings, offering insights into maintaining diversity in microbial cultures. | | | | A study in PNAS reveals that chitin promotes gene transfer in marine environments by binding environmental DNA and enhancing natural transformation in Vibrio cholerae, with implications for microbial evolution and ecosystem diversity. | | | | Researchers from the University of Birmingham have pinpointed crucial genetic sequences involved in a technique known as plasmid curing, which aims to “displace” antibiotic resistance genes from bacteria. | | | | Understanding how E. histolytica attacks human cells and evades immunity is crucial for developing effective treatments and vaccines against this parasite. | | | | Thousands of bacterial and other microbial species live in the human gut, supporting healthy digestion, immunity, metabolism and other functions. | |
