The brief

The proposed purchase for the crystal harvesting instrument is part of a larger workflow for the Newcastle University Structural Biology Facility.

The equipment will be used in high throughput sample harvesting, for analysis with X-ray either in-house or at the national facility synchrotron Diamond Light Source.

We are looking to purchase a crystal harvesting system which will incorporate an x/y stage to our microscope and allow movement of our experiments seamlessly with the use of computer software.

The robot is to allow high throughput of protein crystal harvesting, from two standard crystallization plates.

The system must prevent dehydration of the samples while harvesting.
