“Crystal Former is very easy to set up and handle during follow-up visual inspection. It offers unique capabilities of gradient screening.  It speeds up the whole process of crystallization. For some projects it helps us identify novel crystallization hits.”

Technology

Microlytic uses high-throughput microfluidic manufacturing to produce the Crystal Former, a device designed to improve protein crystallization hit rates by taking advantage of the favorable physical conditions that occur at the microscale. These conditions, when combined with the Crystal Former’s special materials, unique surface treatment, and proprietary mixing kinetics, substantially improve crystallization success rate, as demonstrated for multiple model proteins.

The Crystal Former advantages include:
  • Quick and easy setup — no external equipment is required
  • Low sample consumption
  • Maximum crystallization probability due to highly effective mixing kinetics
  • Direct access to crystals for subsequent seeding or diffraction studies
