We have had great success using the Mosquito
for protein dispensing coupled with the CyBi-Well (by CyBio) for daughtering
from the deepwell master into the crystallization plates.
We use both the Hamilton Microlab Star
& Alchemist for making optimization screens in plates & DWMB.
The imager we use is the Formulatrix Rock
Imager.
Hope this helps!

Hi, I am planning to purchase a crystallization robotic
system (dispenser, screen maker and imager). As far as I know the following
components are available.
1. Protein Dispenser- mosquito, phoenix
2. Screen maker - alchemist II, Freedom EVO (Tecan) and Microlab star line
(Hamilton). Freedom EVO can also dispense protein.
3. Imager - Minstrel II and TriTek
I shall appreciate any suggestions on these components. I also would like
to know which components are commonly used in macromolecular crystallography
laboratories world wide.
Thanks in advance
