The mosquito LCP from TTP LabTech facilitates the automation and increased throughput of lipidic cubic phase (LCP) crystallization setups, enabling accurate and easy LCP screening. Using a positive displacement syringe with automated tip positioning, the system provides accurate and repeatable dispensing of LCP drops. Precise positioning of the LCP material also facilitates automated imaging of membrane protein crystals in a range of high density plate types. For the precipitant additions step, the disposable tip technology not only provides zero cross-contamination but also negates the need for time-consuming tip washing. Thus, high-throughput rates of more than eight 96-well plates per hour are easily achieved, and evaporation of the dispensed LCP is minimized.
Virtualization of the LabWith advanced computing and algorithmic technologies, modeling and simulation techniques are becoming more accepted and the results more reliable across a wide range of disciplines....continue
