"The QPatch-HT is a high-quality (GOhm seal) 48 channel APC device. It has some very advantageous features, not the least of which includes an on-board cell prep station (Qstir and Qfuge) and automated plate handling proceedure. When it is working well, it can be fantastic (e.g. I have had up to 4 months of continual screening on three different targets with little/no interuption). The down-side is that there are times when the device either underperforms and/or crashes and significant assistance from customer support is needed to get things "back to normal". Customer support is generally very good--but you do NEED it. Consumables are expensive but can be well worth the price for the quality of data for important targets/programs."
