Formulatrix Rock Imager 54

Advanced automated imaging system
Personalise
MWAC structural biology facility lab instrument

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

  • Can hold up to 54 plates 
  • 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
