Protein crystallization robot Mosquito Crystal (TTP Labtech, UK) is the ideal liquid handling tool for setting up protein crystallisation drops in high throughput screening plates. Vapour diffusion and LCP methods are supported. Mosquito offers solutions and protocols for sitting drop or microbatch in all commercially available multi-well plates and provides a solution for hanging drop on a 96 well format.
