• Phoenix Liquid Handling System (Art Robbins Instruments)
To set up your plates we use a multiposition, high-throughput liquid-handling platform. This unique instrument combines the precise low-volume dispensing capabilities of a syringe head with an accuracy and speed of the on-the-fly non-contact nanodispenser. Both the 96 syringe head and the nanodispenser have a large volume range. You can specify a drop size and a ratio of protein to screen within each drop.
• Crystallization plates
The standard plates used by us for all vapour-diffusion crystallization experiments are the SWISSCI MRC 2-well crystallization plates. They allow to set up to 192 nano-scale experiments per single plate (96 conditions, two sample pedestals per condition). Other plates are available on request.
• Microscope – Leicia M125
You can control and observe crystals growth by our microscope Leicia.
• Dewars for crystal transport and storage
In our liquid nitrogen dewars is possible to storage and transport large quantities of crystals at cryogenic temperatures.
