Hanging drop crystallization experiments with the Oryx range of robots

Using the MiTeGen In Situ-1 plate

The MiTeGen In Situ–1 crystallization plate is now available from Douglas Instruments. Please contact us to request a free sample of the MiTeGen In Situ–1 *Limited stocks.

The plate can be flipped over to create a 96 well hanging drop experiment.

The In Situ–1 plate is compatible with the Oryx8, Oryx4 and OryxNano allowing all users to:

        • Collect data in situ.

        • Set up 96 well hanging drop screening and MMS microseeding experiments in approximately 10 minutes.

        • Set up microseeding dilution experiments with the Cross Matrix Optimization experiment and the Additive Scatter experiment.


The In Situ–1 plate is compatible with all our experiment scripts, and works well with XStep for optimization. (Oryx8 only).

Key features of the In Situ–1:



Please contact us for more information about the In Situ–1 plate or a plate definition file.

24 Well cover slide dispensing (Oryx4 and Oryx8 only)

        • Set up 24 well cover slide experiments with up to 5 drops per slide.

        • vary protein : precipitant ratio independently for each drop.

        • Dispense additives such as seeds or diluent.

        • Compatible with LCP dispensing.

        • 22 and 18mm cover slides can be used.
