Formulatrix R-1000 Rock Imager Automated Protein Crystallization Imaging System

The Formulatrix R-1000 Rock Imager is an automated protein crystallization imager designed for high-throughput screening and imaging of 96-well crystallization plates. Key features include:

• Rapid imaging: Scans entire 96-well plates in approximately 3 minutes, facilitating efficient data acquisition in protein crystallization workflows.
• High capacity incubation: Capable of incubating up to 1,500 plates, supporting extensive bioprocessing and biomanufacturing experiments.
• Precision temperature regulation:
• Top section maintains temperature within ±0.1°C using advanced air circulation.
• Base Peltier heat exchanger controls temperature from 5°C below ambient to 7°C above ambient with ±0.5°C precision.
• Optional Peltier-enhanced panels lower the interior temperature to 7°C below ambient for sensitive protein crystallization assays.
• Optional redundant compressor systems enable regulation down to 4°C within ambient ranges of 10°C–30°C, ensuring reliability and stability for long-term crystallization monitoring.
• Versatile configurations: Available models accommodate varying laboratory budgets and workflows, making it suitable for synthetic biology, molecular diagnostics, and structural biology research.
• Superior imaging quality: Designed to capture critical structural data from protein drops, supporting molecular cloning, gene editing workflows, and other biotechnological applications.

This imaging system is essential for researchers engaged in protein crystallization screening, structural biology, and molecular diagnostics, providing robust, precise environmental control and rapid automated imaging to accelerate experimental throughput in biotechnology and pharmaceutical development.
