mosquito Xtal3 combines speed, accuracy and performance in crystallization drop set up. The instrument enables researchers to use smaller volumes of precious protein samples without risk of contamination and automate popular protein crystallization screening techniques to accelerate research.
Walk up and use technology
Even novice users master the use of the mosquito Xtal3 quickly, minimizing set up time and increasing productivity. The intuitive touch screen application-driven software and quick and easy experimental guides for rapid set-up streamline the overall user experience.
Faster and more efficient screening of crystallization space
The instrument enables exceptionally fast and accurate drop setup across a wide viscosity range, dramatically increasing efficiency compared with traditional methods.
Access volumes as low as 10 nL
mosquito Xtal3 enables researchers to use smaller volumes of protein sample, and reduce screen consumption to realize cost savings when using valuable compounds as additives.
True positive displacement pipetting delivers exceptional accuracy
Harnessing innovative positive displacement pipetting, mosquito Xtal3 uses disposable micropipettes with individual pistons to deliver exceptional accuracy and precision, irrespective of liquid class.
Enables experimental flexibility
The instrument enables experimental flexibility by automating commonly used protein crystallization screening techniques including hanging drop, sitting drop and microbatch as well as seeding or additive screening plate preparation.
