its ability to fine slice a known crystallization space is remarkable.We personally do not have this machine.I only have used it when it came for a demo. In that time the use of some known membrane protein crystallization space without even much careful experimentation resulted in hits.
We have an older version in which i personally spend a ton of effort. The new plug maker is definitley much better compared to older version for its easiness of use. Is it the answer to getting crystals vs not getting crystals. Nope. So it gives you an option to try a different method and sometime it helps. padayatti ps On Wed, Mar 28, 2012 at 12:34 PM, Kothe, Michael GZ/US <michael.ko...@genzyme.com> wrote: > Hi, > > > > I am looking for feedback from those who have used the Emerald Plugmaker > instrument, especially if in your experience the translation of initial > crystallization hits to diffracting crystals was as straightforward as > claimed by Emerald.
