Software for automating protein crystallization.

Protein crystal imaging systems with 2 to 1000 plate capacity

• Fast - Dispense a 100 µL, 3 ingredient, 96 well grid in as little as 60 seconds.

• Precise - Dispense volumes down to 100 nL with CVs below 5%. No upper limit on dispense volume.

• Reliable – chemically inert, self washing, no regular maintenance required.

• Small – the footprint of the Formulator 16sp is only 50% larger than a typical laptop computer.

• Easy to use – no difficult programming or complicated usage steps. Design your experiments using an intuitive interface, place your ingredients and click go.

Formulator 16sp

How does it work?• 96 outputs, one above each well.

• One liquid is selected and distributed to all 96 outputs.

• All outputs can be dispense at the same time.

• Each output can be enabled or disabled independently.

How do I add ingredients?• Special septa fit standard laboratory bottles (e.g. Falcon tubes)

• Put the septa on the bottle.

• Place the bottle upside down on thedevice.

• Use it.

• Ask the formulator to wash the ingredient line and septa.

• Take the ingredient off.
