SHARE

Crystallization hit optimization and custom screen creation are integral parts of crystallographic workflows. The Formulator® is a specialized microfluidic liquid dispenser to create macromolecular crystallization screens. It can dispense up to 34 different ingredients. A 96-nozzle dispensing chip can dispense any volume of any ingredient of any viscosity into any well. It has broad viscosity compatibility necessary to handle various ingredients found in commercial screens.
