TTP LabTech’s mosquito® Crystal is the protein crystallographer’s favourite liquid handler. It makes protein crystallography screening faster, more cost-effective and quite simply easier than ever before.
mosquito® Crystal allows you to use smaller volumes (25nL-1200nL) of valuable protein with no risk of cross contamination, resulting in cost savings and enabling a larger number of screening conditions to be studied. You can automate hanging drop, sitting drop, microbatch and seeding or additive screening plate preparation, with no need to make setup changes to the instrument.

mosquito’s accuracy and repeatability means you can place drops centrally in the sub-wells of sitting-drop plates every time. Precise drop placement facilitates automated analysis, thus making your crystals easier to identify.

TTP LabTech’s mosquito® Crystal also allows you to create several multi-component drops per well, even in 96-well hanging drop set-ups so you can assess different protein concentrations at the same time. Uniquely, mosquito® can perform multiple aspirations before a single dispense, which is essential for automating additive screening. You can even dispense a combination of solutions simultaneously – with additional mixing if required – resulting in perfect drop formation.
