Get Creative with Lipidic Cubic Phase

Versatile work-flows are easy with Oryx LCP:

1. Prepare the Protein-Lipid mixture
easily with the Douglas manual LCP mixer.

Mixer also available from Jena Bioscience GmbH




2. Initial screening
Set up 96 well screens to sandwich or vapour diffusion plates. Also set up LCP additive screens.

3. Optimize
Find the optimal pH, precipitants and concentration.

4. Dispense LCP to 24 well hanging drop coverslips
Much better harvesting than sandwich plates and better optics than sitting drop.

Dispensing LCP to coverslips

Oryx 4 and 8 LCP can dispense LCP and aqueous drops to 22mm or 18mm cover slide. This makes setting up optimization experiments faster, less fiddly and more precise than manual set-up. Dispensing LCP to coverslips has the great benefit of easier harvesting whilst maintaining the optical benefits of a sandwich plate. Please visit our booth at one of the meetings below, or contact us, for more information about this.



Oryx8 LCP can also pipette reservoir solutions to practically all 24 well, 48 and 96 well plates. It can accurately and easily create concentration gradients and pH changes for LCP, under oil, hanging drop or sitting drop. Optimization video
