Automatic Hanging Drop Optimization

Did you know that you can dispense 24 well hanging drop optimization experiments with an Oryx4 or Oryx8?

Reservoir dispensing to any sitting drop or hanging drop plate for optimization.

Dispense up to 3 ingredients to the drops and reservoir with Oryx4 using the new 'simple gradient' experiments.

Dispense up to 7 ingredients to the drops and 6 ingredients to the reservoir with Oryx8 using XStep.

Up to 5 drops per cover slide.

The robot uses a disposable 1 mL tip to dispense most of the ingredients to the reservoir. The multi-channel microtip is used to dispense ingredients that require higher accuracy to the reservoir.

Once the reservoirs have been dispensed, the protein sample is loaded and the drops are dispensed. Please see the videos below for overviews of the new 'simple gradient' experiment and more complex optimization experiments with XStep:
