mosquito LCP for membrane protein crystallization enables accurate, reproducible automation for liquid cubic phase (LCP) setups.
The innovative positive displacement technology overcomes the common problems encountered with accurately dispensing the highly viscous LCP materials. Automated calibration of syringe and pipette positioning ensures precise drop-on-drop placement for easy automated imaging.
mosquito LCP includes all the functionality of mosquito crystal for automated vapor diffusion setups, allowing researchers to set up both LCP and traditional protein crystallization experiments in any commercially available plate, using a single instrument.
Dispense lipidic cubic phase (LCP) volumes as low as 25 nL
mosquito LCP unlocks the benefits of miniaturization, enabling researchers to use smaller volumes of protein sample and reduce screen consumption to realize substantial cost savings.
Walk up and use technology
Even novice users master the use of the mosquito LCP quickly, minimizing setup 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.
True positive displacement pipetting delivers exceptional accuracy
mosquito LCP harnesses innovative positive displacement pipetting by using disposable micropipettes with individual pistons to deliver exceptional accuracy and precision, irrespective of liquid class.
