From screen to Structure using the Crystal Former
Researchers from Brookhaven National Labs demonstrate how to go directly from initial crystallization screening to high resolution structure for a protein using the Crystal Former.
Improved crystallization hit rate.
Researchers from Brookhaven National Labs demonstrate improved crystallization hit rates using the Crystal Former for initial sparse screening compared to sitting drop vapor diffusion.
UV fluorescence
Researchers from Rockefeller University and
Jan Scientific show how crystals can be imaged in Crystal Former channels as well as detected using the UV fluorescence of tryptophan.

SmartScreen
A new sparse matrix screen designed to give researchers the most crystal hits using only 48 conditions in the Crystal Former.
PurePEGs
A new PEG based screen that utilized ultra pure PEGs and features many different MW PEGs in each condition resulting in diffusive waves of different PEGs through the Crystal Former channels.
Salt in-Salt out
A screen designed to take advantage of the benefits of the XZ Dialysis system. The Salt in-Salt out screen samples 50% in the Salting in region of the phase diagram and 50% in the Salting out region.
