The Major Differences
between
Oryx8, Oryx4,
and OryxNano
-
Oryx8
is the flagship Douglas Instruments protein crystallization robot. It
can set up sitting drop nanodrops down to 100 + 100 nl. (For screening
experiments the
reservoirs must be predispensed by some other method such as a 12-channel
pipette. For optimization experiments the reservoirs are filled
automatically). Standard screening, additive and microseeding experiments
are included as well as microbatch-under-oil screens (also down to 100 + 100 nl).
Optimization experiments can be carried out using up to 7 ingredients with full pH
control, including multi-variate designs such as the Central Composite. In
addition, quick-and-easy 2-D grid optimizations with up to 4 ingredients can
be carried out in a few minutes.
-
Oryx4 is the
product for those users who do not want to do
multi-variate optimization. As with the Oryx8, it performs standard
screening, additive, microseeding experiments and microbatch-under-oil screens (also down to 100+100 nl).
Oryx4 can be upgraded to Oryx8 if multi-variate optimization becomes a
requirement.
-
OryxNano
is a compact option which has the capability of the Oryx4, except for
microbatch and additive experiments. OryxNano can do quick-and-easy 2-D grid
optimizations with up to 4 ingredients.
