I have the same problem as I am not using a robot. For this reason I use the 48 well hanging drops from Hampton and seal them one at a time. It is very time consuming but uses little reservoir solution and your drops do not dry out.. Jackie Vitali On Fri, Nov 18, 2011 at 7:24 PM, Ho Leung Ng w

it can be done but, if you don't want your drops to dry, better do it in a cold room. It's painful though.

Hello Ivan, You can dispense 0.1-0.2 uL drops with the PB-100 repeating dispenser from Hamilton and a 10 uL glass syringe. But it's rather clumsy and hard on the hands. I don't recommend using it with 96 well plates. It's too slow to do the whole plate at one time without your drops drying up

Hi, With the electronic Biohit 8 channel pipette you can set up 3x96 drops in 5 minutes. Lowest volume is 0.2 ul. We have used this system for a couple of years with RNase free filter tips for RNA-protein complexes. With the recent arrival of a shared Mosquito we have used the Biohit less but it

Hi, I am routinely using the gryphon robot from Art Robbins.This instrument can dispense 0.02microlitre at minimum. Your drops can dry out if you use such low volumes you have to be really fast. You can set up 0.2 to 0.1 micro litre drops using this for 96 well plates however the instrument needs t

Hi, I apologize in advance as it is not a ccp4 related question, but over the years, CCP4bb is synonymous with protein crystallographers virtual university, at least for me. Ok, now I do not have an easy access to crystallization robot, so I was hoping if someone here have ever used the 96 well pl
