Rigaku ScreenMachine Delivers Protein Crystal Diffraction Screening
Jul 01, 2010
• Easily and simply screen crystals ... Test new crystallization hits for diffraction, ensure that proper cryo-conditions are selected, and optimize your beamtime schedule by ensuring you have the best samples. • Train and teach your students ... Having a ScreenMachine in a structural biology lab ensures that students and other researchers will have the opportunity to learn proper crystal mounting and handling techniques with the instant feedback that can only come from having an in-house X-ray source. • Produce research grade data ... Coupled with the microfocus sealed tube X-ray source is a CCD detector that has been designed to provide good diffraction resolution coverage for both screening and data collection. With a cryosystem as standard equipment, the ScreenMachine allows for the collection of full data sets for: crystals that are hard to obtain, time sensitive projects, crystals that do not travel well, and samples that do not require a synchrotron for appropriate diffraction. About Rigaku Since its inception in Japan in 1951, Rigaku has been at the forefront of analytical and industrial instrumentation technology. Rigaku and its subsidiaries form a global group focused on life sciences and general purpose analytical instrumentation.
