Products: MRC 2 Well Crystallization Plate

This popular 96 well sitting drop plate was developed at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (Cambridge, UK) in collaboration with Dr. Jan Lowe. A result of many years of experience in successful robotic high-throughput crystallisation, it offers unique properties that make it ideal for both nanolitre crystallisation screening and microliter optimisation. Made from optically superior polymer and with a clever well design, the plate allows easy crystal viewing and retrieval.

Easy crystal retrieval. Wide raised wells make crystal mounting especially easy.

Easy viewing. Wide conical wells have a lens effect for perfect illumination. Micro-numbering ensures you will never get lost again. The optically superior polymer is UV transparent, allowing differentiation between salt and protein crystals.

Better sealing. Wide partition walls between the wells give plenty of area for good sealing with tape. A robust structure ensures no central bending.

Wide range of volumes. Typical volumes are 50-100 ?l of reservior and 10 nl-5 ?l drop size. The 192 optical wells offer twice the number of experimental constructions.

SBS standard. The plates are designed to the 96-well SBS standard for all common holders, and can be centrifuged. External numbering (A-H, 1-12) with corner location make the plate easy to use in a robotic sampler.

• 96-well structure in standard SBS form for automation.
• Wells are easy to fill without micro-droplets jumping out due to static effects.
• Optically perfect wells with lens effect give a better view in the microscope and simplify crystal identification.
• Markings on each well simplify orientation under the microscope.
• Low binding polymer makes removal of crystals from each well easier.
• Two protein drop wells allow duplicate experiments for more robust evaluation or the mixing of two solutions.
• A perfectly flat upper surface with a large land area around insures the integrity of each well and allows wells to be individually sealed.
designed to ensure integrity of each well section
