Phoenix DT/RE Drop Setter Robot

The ARI Phoenix DT drop setter robot is used for setting up crystallization trays of protein macromolecules geared for high throughput crystallography. The primary motivation for using automated drop setters is to reduce the total amount of high purity protein needed for screening experiments by dispensing protein/solution drops down to 100 nL or less. For researchers investigating difficult-to-crystallize proteins, the Phoenix drop setters supports more complex workflows that include microseeding and dispensing additive and/or detergent screens. Rigaku partnered with Art Robbins Instruments (ARI) to provide drop setters that fit various throughput requirements. For high throughput situations we provide modified versions of the ARI Phoenix that include additional chimney wash stations for both the 96 transfer head and nano dispenser, as well as Peltier controlled chill blocks for protein samples. The Phoenix DT/RE is geared for use on a lab bench.
