CrystalMation™ — automated crystallization system
A fully integrated platform for protein crystallization, automating every step from custom screen making to crystallization trial imaging and analysis. Modular design means that CrystalMation systems can be configured to meet a wide range of requirements and grow with your needs. Each of the innovative workstations is available as a stand-alone instrument or in combination with one or more additional components.

CrystalTrak™ — database and automation control
From experiment design, to data analysis and data tracking, CrystalTrak is a complete crystallization software package that provides a chemical and crystallization database, analysis tools and methods for easily designing—and automatically controlling—crystallization experiments.

Alchemist™ II — liquid handling / screen maker
Create customized crystallization screens simply and easily, allowing the setup of any type of gradient and then automatically performing all the calculations. It features unique BirdFeeder™ technology for non-contact dispensing and simplified stock management.

Phoenix™ RE — crystallization plate setup
Delivering complete crystallization plate setup, from reservoir filling to drop setting, the Phoenix RE couples a non-contact liquid nano-dispense unit with a 96-channel dispense head for rapid sitting drop plate setup.

Minstrel™ HT with Gallery™ 700 —  high-throughput crystal imaging with automated plate incubation 
Simultaneously supporting two Gallery 700 incubators operating at different temperatures (shown), the Minstrel HT system automatically images plate wells and links images with crystallization experiments.

Desktop Minstrel — crystal imaging and analysis system 
With its extensive list of options, the Desktop Minstrel can be configured to meet a broad range of budgetary and performance requirements, from low-throughput research applications to ultra-demanding, high-throughput, drug discovery programs. The optional Gallery 160 Plate Hotel (shown to the left of the Desktop Minstrel) adds more plate capacity and provides random access plate storing and imaging on both a batch and scheduled basis.

Desktop Minstrel UV — ultraviolet crystal imaging and analysis system 
The Desktop Minstrel UV is the world's first fully automated UV imaging and protein crystal monitoring system. This unique system uses UV fluorescence imaging of fluorescing amino acids in proteins to clearly identify protein crystals and distinguish them from non-protein crystals, such as salt.

ACTOR™ — protein crystal handling system 
As the world's first commercial robotic system for automated crystal sample mounting and storage, ACTOR eliminates much of the physical handling of samples by crystallographers required during routine screening and data collection either in the lab or at the beamline.

ACTOR SM — small molecule crystal handling system
Offering fully automated sample handling of up to 96 crystals, ACTOR SM is the world's first commercial robotic system for automated handling of crystals for small molecule structure determination. The system provides automatic crystal transport, centering, and retrieval, offering the user complete lights-out operation.
