Automated membrane protein screening, optimization and scale-up

mosquito LCP overcomes the common problems encountered with accurately dispensing the highly viscous LCP mixture used in membrane protein crystallization. It allows you to fully automate LCP set-ups accurately and repeatedly.

Incredible power at the heart of your liquid handling processes

reduced set-up time and training requirements
walk-up and use technology which even novice users can master quickly

robust day-to-day performance even in heavy use
proven reliability with no blocking or clogging

protein samples go further and screen consumption is vastly reduced
access volumes as low as 10 nL on multi-aspirate

faster screening of crystallization space for less sample
rapid and accurate drop set-up across a wide viscosity range

flexibility to easily switch methods to suit individual projects
easily set all crystallization methods with no configuration changes

accuracy and precision, irrespective of liquid class
true positive displacement pipetting

Automated lipidic cubic phase screening
mosquito LCP allows you to dispense lipidic cubic phase (LCP) volumes as low as 25 nL, while automated calibration of syringe and pipette positioning ensures precise drop-on-drop placement for easy automated imaging. In addition, mosquito LCP includes all the functionality of mosquito crystal for your automated vapour diffusion set-ups. This allows you to set up both LCP and traditional protein crystallization experiments in any commercially available plate, using just one instrument with no configuration changes, additional hardware or software.
