Figure 1
Schematic diagram of the fully automated protein crystallization and monitoring system. Solid arrows indicate the motion of the crystallization plates, and gray boxed arrows indicate the flow of the captured image data. (a) In the original PXS, three dispensers work to dispense the crystallization (precipitant) and protein solutions and to mix them. Crystallization plates are transported among the dispensers by a shuttle transport device. (b) In the improved system, PXS2, two dispensers and an articulated robot work to complete the crystallization drops. A SONICC observation module and a low-temperature incubator with an observation module are newly installed.
