The LVEM5 microscope accelerates and improves quality assessment of membrane protein sample preparations. Protein crystallographers benefit by directly observing preparation homogeneity and aggregation states by high resolution electron microscopy. The LVEM5 marks a radical departure from
traditional electron microscopes in its desktop size, affordable cost and ease of operations. The LVEM5 also has an important functional edge over traditional electron microscopy as no staining is necessary. This translates into the absence of damaging acid pH heavy metals that destabilize sensitive preparations. Employing the LVEM5 as a key quality step prior to crystallization trials reduces time, costs and errors.

Designs and manufactures the IMPAX 1-5 and Oryx 1-6 systems for automatic protein crystallization. Both systems are mainly designed to carry out crystallization by the microbatch method, although Oryx 1-6 can also perform crystallization by vapor diffusion. Microbatch has many advantages including greater speed – and also the fact that it is truly micro – and consequently uses less protein. Recent studies have shown that microbatch finds a comparable or (in one case) a much greater number of hits than vapor diffusion in screening experiments. The company also makes miniaturized plates especially for crystallization by both vapor diffusion and microbatch.
