Automated protein analyzer mosquito® crystal

laboratorybenchtop

The original mosquito crystal combines speed, accuracy, and high precision pipetting of nanolitre volumes with zero cross-contamination from a disposable tip. Volumes as low as 10 nL on multi-aspirate allow researchers to make the most of precious protein samples while benefiting from the adaptability to easily change methods to accommodate individual projects. Enabling 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 the instrument enables experimental flexibility. The instrument also offers researchers the flexibility setup all traditional (non-LCP) protein crystallization experiments as well as enabling some other screening methods such as serial dilution work. Walk up and use technology Even novice users master use of the mosquito crystal quickly, minimizing set up time and increasing productivity. The intuitive touch screen application-driven software and quick and easy experimental guides for rapid setup streamline the overall user experience. Designed for seamless workflow integration mosquito crystal integrates seamlessly with a wide variety of laboratory instrumentation, including robotic plate handlers, stackers and bulk liquid handlers to achieve walk-away operation in many application areas. Access volumes as low as 10 nL on multi-aspirate mosquito crystal enables researchers to use smaller volumes of protein sample and reduce screen consumption to realize substantial cost savings.
