A new self-contained crystallization system is designed to help scientists automate the process of incubating, handling, imaging, and analyzing crystallization experiments. The system was introduced at the Lab Automation 2003 meeting in Palm Springs (CA, USA).Posted on 07 Feb 2003
Called Crystal Farm, the imaging system provides high throughput incubation and imaging of thousands of protein crystallization experiments, activities that are highly labor-intensive. The system was developed by Discovery Partners International, Inc. (DPI, San Diego, CA, USA), which offers integrated services and products for drug discovery. The company says high throughput protein characterization is emerging as a major bottleneck in the drug discovery process. Crystal Farm is intended to speed up this process.
"We are constantly exploring new ways to help our customers streamline the drug discovery process,” said John Lillig, chief technology officer and vice president of the Discovery Systems division of DPI.
