Read What Our Customers Say About Crystal Shifter

“Harvesting crystals from 96 well plates is always stressful, the drops are drying out quite fast while the crystal quality deteriorates with the same pace.
Using the Crystal Shifter makes crystal fishing easier and more successful. The lifetime of each drop increases dramatically, allowing to fish more and better diffracting crystals.
The built-in soaking protocols are very helpful for my project that is related to inhibitor screening. The software is user friendly and the fact that you can so easily document all your work is invaluable.”

“The Crystal Shifter is a workhorse instrument in the XChem facility at Diamond Light Source. It has been key for enabling high-throughput crystallographic fragment screening by significantly improving efficiencies in sample preparation and preserving metadata across an experiment.
Many of our users have introduced Shifters into their own lab workflows following XChem experiments such is the obvious impact of their benefits.”

“We love using the Crystal Shifter to greatly accelerate crystal harvesting for high-throughput X-ray crystallography.
It allows us to ask scientific questions, at scale, which we couldn't do without it! ”

“By the 24th of March, the initial 1500-crystal experiment was complete, and the results made publicly available… This was an exceptionally large screen which yielded a remarkably rich readout, with vast opportunities for fragment growing and merging.”
