Crystallography

Equipment

Liquid Handling Robot: Tecan and Hamilton at 19°C

These robots are used for dispensing mother liquor solutions in the crystallization well reservoir (100-150 µl)

and setting up high volume crystallization trials (0.5 µl to 2 µl).

Tecan Genesis

Hamilton

Hamilton_bd

Crystallization Robot: Cartesian at 19°C and Mosquito (LCP) at 4°C and 19°C

These robots are used to set up low volume crystallization drops in plates prefilled by the Tecan and Hamilton robots.

Routinely, volumes of 100 nl are used for both the protein and the precipitant.

Cartesian Microsys

Mosquito (LCP)

Imaging System: RI1000 Formulatrix at 4°C and 19°C

After preparation of the crystallization trays, these are stored in a crystallization cabinet equipped with a robotized visualization system that at regular intervals takes pictures of the crystallization drops and stores them on computer for inspection.
