The PX Scanner is Oxford Diffraction's unique instrument for the X-ray screening of protein crystals, in-situ in the multi-well crystallisation plate.
The PX Scanner allows the visualisation, identification and X-ray evaluation of protein crystals undisturbed in the growth media within virtually all SBS format crystallisation plates.
The PX Scanner is entirely self contained, requiring only water and power connections and includes:
Benefits of the PX Scanner include:
- Early stage crystal identification
- Discrimination of salt from protein
- Identification of optimal crystal growth conditions
- Comparison of crystal diffraction quality
- Automated crystal screening leading to accelerated results
- Study of crystals too small and fragile to extract
