NT8® - Drop Setter

Benefits:

• Set up hanging drop, sitting drop, microbatch, in meso LCP drops, additive and seeding experiments

• Reusable tips give you the option to dispose tips after each dispense or reuse them to reduce costs and environmental waste

• Proportionally-Controlled Active Humidification prevents sample evaporation and increases experiment reproducibility

• Set up crystallization experiments in your temperature-controlled rooms including at 4°C

• Only crystallization robot that is integrated with the Rock Maker - Crystallization Software

Flexible for a Variety of Protein Crystallization Experiments:

• Vapor Diffusion Crystallization
  Utilizes solvent evaporation to induce well-ordered protein crystal formation through increased concentration

• Microbatch Crystallization
  The sample and reagent are combined and sealed under a layer of oil or within a plate, tube, or container in this method

• Micro-Dialysis Crystallization
  Employs a semi-permeable membrane to separate the sample and crystallization reagent to form crystals

• Seeding Crystallization
  Nucleates / promotes crystal growth by introducing existing crystals (seeds) into the crystallization solution

• Additive Screening
  Identifies additives to enhance crystal size, quality, and diffraction properties by testing a wide range of combinations

• Antigen-antibody Complex Dispensing 
  Aids in understanding interactions and reveals the molecular recognition underlying antibody-antigen binding

• LCP Crystallization
  Utilizes a specialized lipidic cubic phase matrix as a crystallization medium to obtain membrane protein crystals

• Bicelle Crystallization
  Employs disk-like structures formed by long-chain and short-chain phospholipids for favorable stabilization and crystallization
