Formulatrix Rock Imager 54
Description
The Formulatrix Rock Imager 54 is an advanced automated imaging system designed for protein crystallography. It features a temperature-controlled, automated hotel that securely stores protein crystallisation plates. The unit is able to automatically capture high-resolution images of each crystal-tray using visible light and cross-polarised imaging methods,all programmable using the Formulatrix software. Users can also log-in remotely to view the results of their crystallisation experiments and direct the imager to re-image individual plates as needed.
Specifications

- Capable of Peltier cooling to 5 °C below or 7 °C above ambient
- Performs automatic scheduled imaging
- Visible and cross-polarised imaging methods available
Applications
- X-ray crystallography
- Protein crystal screening
