The UV-compatible CrystalMation Intelli-Plate 96-3 from Rigaku and Art Robbins Instruments delivers optical clarity for protein crystal images. With a thicker wall to separate reservoirs and eliminate ridges, the crystallization plate features 96 reservoirs, each with three associated wells. This design allows users to perform co-crystallization experiments and alter protein-to-solution ratios on one plate. Available in the standard SBS format, the plate is certified for use on CrystalMation systems for high-throughput protein crystallization experiments. Optionally, plates can be ordered with pre-printed barcodes for drop-in use in high-throughput crystallization labs.
