HomeBase
was selected by the Max Planck Institute of Molecular
Genetics (MPI) as the plate handling system for
their protein structure analylsis factory. |
| |
It provides all of the
physical requirements needed for successful protein
crystallisation experiments: |
| |
- Protein environmental control to maximise
the growth of protein crystal
- Smooth vibration-free robotics to minimise
crystal degradation and avoid disturbance of
plate droplets
- Flexibility of design that allows sitting
and hanging-drop vapour diffusion plates
- Storage, retrieval and visualisation of a
large number of experiments
For MPI's protein structure analysis factory, HomeBase
holds 10,000 special plates in which delicate crystals
are grown in storage conditions of +19°C
(+/-0.5°C). |

Both MPI
and The Wellcome Trust
Centre have published posters on the use
of HomeBase in protein crystallisation experiements,
and PDF's of these posters can be viewed or downloaded
