Dear all -
Under the BIOXHIT home page,
http://www.bioxhit.org
you can navigate to "Section 1" or "HTP Crystallization",
or simply follow the link below:
http://icarus.embl-hamburg.de/bioxhit/bioXHITSection1.jsp
It has quite a lot of data on what people use, available facilities,
and testing of some popular robots.
If any lab/facility wants to contribute data to that resource please
get in contact with me.
My best regards, Tassos
