The crystallization room is reserved for crystallization experiments using the Art Robbins Instruments Gryphon crystallization robot for setting up crystallization plates (Figure 1). The small modular dispenser with a 96-channel head and a 1-channel dispenser quickly aspirates and dispenses reservoir solution and protein down to 100 nl within 2 minutes for a 96-well sitting-drop plate. The method facilitates fast and effective microplate screening (Figure 2).
