Protein Crystallisation

Numerous factors affect the crystallisation of proteins. Since the optimal crystallisation conditions generally can't be predicted, a large number of attempts is often necessary in order to determine and optimise the appropriate conditions. Protein crystallisation therefore still represents a major bottleneck in structure analysis. The use of high-throughput technologies, such as pipetting robots and standardised microplates makes it possible to test a large number of crystallisation conditions in a short period of time and with relatively small amounts of protein.
The CrystalStar™ product range from Greiner Bio-One is a family of crystallisation plates and accessories designed specifically for high-throughput crystallisation.
