Automation products
From the most complete suite of proven laboratory automation products for
protein crystallography to custom engineered robotic products, Rigaku is a world
leader in providing high-throughput mechanized solutions for synchrotron
beamlines, labs and fabs.
Automation for protein crystallography
Crystallization of proteins is a critical bottleneck in structural biology.
Hundreds of crystallization conditions must be examined to find one that
produces a well-diffracting crystal. Automation can improve the success rate of
this process. Rigaku offers a complete range of systems to automate each step of
the protein crystallization process, from protein to crystal and from crystal to
data collection and structure solution. In addition to crystallization and
crystal handling automation, Rigaku provides complete solutions, including X-ray
generators, X-ray optics, X-ray
detectors, as well as data
acquisition and structure solution
software.

CrystalMation™ — automated crystallization
system
A fully integrated platform for protein crystallization,
automating every step from custom screen making to crystallization trial
imaging and analysis. Modular design means that CrystalMation systems
can be configured to meet a wide range of requirements and grow with
your needs. Each of the innovative workstations is available as a
stand-alone instrument or in combination with one or more additional
components. |

CrystalTrak™ — database and automation control
From experiment design, to data analysis and data
tracking, CrystalTrak is a complete crystallization software package
that provides a chemical and crystallization database, analysis tools
and methods for easily designing—and automatically controlling—crystallization experiments. |

Alchemist™ II — liquid handling / screen maker
Create customized crystallization screens simply and
easily, allowing the setup of any type of gradient and then
automatically performing all the calculations. It features unique
BirdFeeder™ technology for non-contact dispensing and simplified
stock management. |

Phoenix™ RE — crystallization plate setup
Delivering complete crystallization plate setup, from
reservoir filling to drop setting, the Phoenix RE couples a
non-contact liquid nano-dispense unit with a 96-channel dispense head
for rapid sitting drop plate setup. |

Minstrel™ HT with
Gallery™ 700 — high-throughput crystal imaging
with automated plate incubation
Simultaneously supporting two Gallery 700
incubators operating at different temperatures (shown), the Minstrel
HT system automatically images plate wells and links images with
crystallization experiments. |
|

Desktop Minstrel —
crystal imaging and analysis
system
With its extensive list of options, the Desktop
Minstrel can be configured to meet a broad range of budgetary and
performance requirements, from low-throughput research applications to
ultra-demanding, high-throughput, drug discovery programs. The
optional Gallery 160 Plate Hotel (shown to
the left of the Desktop Minstrel) adds more plate
capacity and provides random access plate storing and imaging on both
a batch and scheduled basis. |
|
| |
Desktop Minstrel UV —
ultraviolet crystal imaging and analysis system
The Desktop Minstrel UV is the world's first fully automated UV imaging and protein crystal monitoring system. This
unique system uses UV fluorescence imaging of fluorescing amino acids in proteins to clearly identify protein
crystals and distinguish them from non-protein crystals, such as salt. |

CrystalMation
Intelli-Plate™ — 96-3 low-profile crystallization
plate
The NEW CrystalMation Intelli-Plate 96-3 well low-profile
crystallization plate is designed for sitting drop vapor diffusion
crystallization experiments. The CrystalMation Intelli-Plate is
constructed from optically clear, UV-transmissible, chemically
resistant plastic with superior low birefringence. |
