HomeBase
is a narrow aisle based automated system for management
of sample libraries. |
| |
It has been
specially configured to manage large-scale plate-based
crystallography experiments, holding a large number
of plates under defined environmental conditions
for vapour diffusion or microbatch applications.
Individual plates can be delivered according to
a user's defined schedule to a range of locations,
for example an integrated crystal inspection system,
or an output draw for expert evaluation. |
| |
Installations include
Europe’s leading protein structure facilities
– the Max Planck
Institute for Molecular Genetics (Berlin,
Germany) and the Wellcome
Trust Centre for Human Genetics (Oxford,
England). |

- Storage and retrieval of all SBS-format crystallisation
plates
- Environmental control (temperature and humidity),
including back-up systems
- Plate transfer of hanging-drop, sitting-drop
or microbatch experiments
- Integrated crystal inspection via user’s
choice of imaging system
- Delivery of plates for manual inspection
- Logging and tracking of every labware item
|
 |
| |
- Optimal storage conditions for crystal formation
- Inspection of large numbers of crystallisation
trials according to regular, operator specified
schedules
- Specific features to virtually eliminate
vibration during plate transfers and imaging
(typically <0.5g)
- Ideal environment for crystal formation during
storage, transfer and imaging
- Flexible racking to accommodate changes in
stored inventory over time
- Full audit trail for each experiment
|

HomeBase provides a
system for managing highly parallel crystallisation
experiments, maximising probability of producing
crystals in a reproducible manner. |
