SPT Labtech mosquito® Crystallography
Description
mosquito® Xtal3
Rapid and efficient protein crystal screening
mosquito® Xtal3 combines speed, accuracy and performance in crystallisation drop set up. The instrument enables researchers to use smaller volumes of precious protein samples without risk of contamination and automate popular protein crystallisation screening techniques to accelerate research.
Features:
- Robust performance from microlitres to nanolitres
- Using positive-displacement pipetting technology for accurate and precise volume range
- Cost savings from optimised sample use and reduced waste
- Zero cross contamination from using disposable pipette tips
- Minimal dead volumes
- More than just dispensing, mosquito® is able to aspirate multiple components, dispense and even mix without splashing
- Intuitive set-up and software proven in multiple-user labs
- No slow wash steps or system fluids

mosquito® LCP
Accurate, reproducible automation for liquid cubic phase (LCP) setups
mosquito® LCP for membrane protein crystallisation enables accurate, reproducible automation for liquid cubic phrase (LCP) set-ups. The innovative positive displacement technology overcomes the common problems encountered with accurately dispensing the highly viscous LCP materials. Automated calibration of syringe and pipette positioning ensures precise drop-on-drop placement for easy automated imaging.
Features:
- Guided experimental workflows and intuitive screen application driven software
- 2 or 4 position deck
- Precise humidity control improves consistency
- True positive displacement pipetting delivers exceptional accuracy
- Dispense lipidic cubic phase (LCP) volume as low as 25nL
- Robust day-to-day performance even in heavy use

mosquito® LV crystal
Fast, accurate, and precise pipetting for protein crystallography
The mosquito crystal combines speed, accuracy, and high precision pipetting of nanolitre volumes with zero cross-contamination from a disposable tip. Volumes as low as 10nL on multi-aspirate allow researchers to make the most of precious protein samples while benefiting from the adaptability to easily change methods.
Features:
- Offers flexibility to setup all traditional (non-LCP) protein crystallisation experiments as well as enabling some other screening methods such as serial dilution work
- Easy experimental guides for rapid setup streamline the overall user experience
- Seamless integration with a wide range of laboratory instrumentation
- Access volumes as low as 10nL on multi-aspirate
- True positive displacement pipetting delivers exceptional accuracy
- Robust day-to-day performance
