High-throughput incubation and imaging system for crystal growth

对于结晶实验的记录、分析和优化以及蛋白质晶体的敏感鉴定，需要高通量的系统。该系统将允许在几个星期内在恒温下自动跟踪结晶实验。即使在困难的光学条件下，在聚集材料和盐晶体的存在下，蛋白质晶体的成核和生长也将得到可靠的记录。该系统将支持多种版式。基于可交换的标准组件的系统模块化设计是首选的。

A high-throughput system is required for the documentation, analysis and optimization of crystallization experiments and the sensitive identification of protein crystals. The system will allow the automated tracking of crystallization experiments over a period of several weeks at a constant temperature. The nucleation and growth of protein crystals will be reliably documented, even under difficult optical conditions, in the presence of aggregated material and salt crystals. The system will support a variety of plate formats. A modular design of the system based on exchangeable standard components is preferred.
