Protein crystallisation

The new ProCrys Meso Plus for automatic preparation of in meso proteins exceeds any other system which has been introduced to the market until now. With high precision – up to 20µm – the system places extremely viscous lipid cubic phase (LCP) proteins onto the crystallisation plates. Laser beams control the positioning of the dispensing positions 3-dimensionally. A special surface sensor checks the surface of the crystallisation plate and adjusts the vertical dispense distance of the pipetting tip in case of improper surface or incorrect leveling of the destination plate. Eight ndependentlyspaced tips add the buffer solution (from 0.5 µl) exactly onto the center of the protein. Level detection of the probes and extensive washing avoids cross-contamination.
