Customized crystallization, Plate storage and inspection

Technology/ Methodology:
Crystallization of biomolecules

Research group:
CF: Core Facility Biomolecular Interaction and Crystallization

PROFILE CARD

Setting-up multidimensional gradients for optimization (from up to 5 different solutions). Set-up of optimization screens - Hanging drop crystallization method, Sitting drop crystallization method, Crystallization under oil.

Storage of the screening plates for 3 months at a constant temperature 4°C or 20°C. Automatic screening of crystals - Regular automatic inspection within the period of one month, UV imaging to distinguish a protein from a salt. Online access to the images 24/7 Storage of the screening plates for extended period of time (6 months) at a constant temperature 4°C or 20°C with a possibility of a demanded extra inspection.
