Automatic crystallization system for structure analysis of protein TERA


Stocker robot
Handling 2560 sheets of crystallizing plate and 125 sheets of reagent plate to the stocker and take out from the stocker.

Vision observation system
Observe protein crystallization progress with Microscope and CCD camera automatically.

Stage robot
Transport the plate to each unit

Dispenser Robot
With Micro batch method to dispense protein, reagent, and oil for shielding precisely.

Marker and Code reader
In order to log each of the plate, bar code marking and reading is equipped
This system is automated with necessary crystallization and observation procedures to non-attendant level to crystallize high quality protein for X-ray structure analysis.
This system manages by bar code, for 2560 sheets of crystallizing plate which has 72 holes. It can set to each plate, pH, selected proper precipitate material or additives, and concentration to prepare solute at various conditions. And also it takes automatically micro scope pictures following to the observation schedule managed by bar code. The picture data is filed in data bases, and as option though also can observe crystallization progress on web site. Best advantage to TERA is that all necessary procedures are covered with this one system.
