省钱+减少浪费
运行或维护系统不需要额外的消耗品。
保持母液完整性
密闭容器可防止污染、蒸发和烟气泄漏。
创建复杂筛选
使用多达 34 种母液来创建自定义筛选以满足用户的实验需求。
轻松创建结晶筛选
FORMULATOR® - 蛋白结晶优化移液工作站是专为蛋白质晶体学设计的下一代液体处理器，它使用专利微流体技术分配多达 34 种不同的母液。一个 96 喷嘴分配芯片可以将任何体积、任何粘度的任何母液分配到任意孔中。
灵活的液体分配
- 低体积，低至 200 nL，无上限
- 在 2.7 分钟内完成 100 μL、3 种母液、96 孔结晶孔板的分配
- 支持所有微孔板类型，甚至包括 VDX/Linbro 板
操作简单
- 集成条码扫描器自动加载实验和母液数据
- 试剂瓶传感器能够感知母液的位置
- 实验设计、打印条码、扫描和运行
- 唯一与结晶软件 ROCK MAKER 集成的筛选创建仪
分配粘性和非粘性母液
FORMULATOR 的核心是获得专利的微流控芯片，它可测量和分配液体的离散体积。该芯片有 96 个通道，每个通道都有自己的微流体阀组。每个阀组都有两个微隔膜（200 nL 和 2.5 µL），这些微隔膜每秒最多可充排 3 次。FORMULATOR 通过组合每个微隔膜的多次分液，可以分配低至 200 nL 的任何体积。
使用多达 34 种母液轻松完成筛选创建
适合您的预算和工作流程的仪器型号
根据您创建结晶筛选所需的母液数量，FORMULATOR 有 3 种不同的型号可供选择。该系统支持 125 mL 和 250 mL Nalgene 试剂瓶，以及 50 mL 圆锥形管。 所有型号都具有相同的物理尺寸，并为其他洗涤溶液提供可选的二次洗涤输入。
简单的母液切换
母液添加非常简单，只需扫描试剂条形码并将试剂瓶（带有专用的单向阀帽）插入FORMULATOR顶部任意空的输入接口。试剂瓶传感器会自动告诉系统用户将每种试剂放置的位置，从而避免用户操作误差。

便于使用的软件
FORMULATOR 软件提供了一种简单、便于使用的方式来运行即便是最复杂的分液实验方案，主要是通过将用户的微孔板可视化显示，显示微孔板上每种母液的分配体积和所在孔位置。
可以设计分液以改变分配到微孔板上每个孔的每种试剂的体积，也可以向每个孔分配相同的体积，以及在必要时予以回填。
ROCK MAKER® 集成
使用 ROCK MAKER 结晶软件快速设计实验。ROCK MAKER 可以提供条码来打印和标记用户的微孔板。如果要运行分液列表，只需使用集成的条码扫描器扫描微孔板标签，然后再将微孔板放置在 FORMULATOR 的微孔板托架上分液设计将自动加载，然后用户可以准备进行分液。

Testimonials
The FORMULATOR has been an essential tool for crystallography efforts here in our laboratory. The software is easy to use and contains many options for producing broad and fine reagent screens. The largest benefit has been the amount of time we are able to save by not having to pipette all the components of our 96-well screens individually. The only limitation that we have encountered is the number of reagents we are able to add into a particular screen. This is due to the number of ports on the unit that dispense reagents, however you can make a particular screen in quadrants which might help to facilitate this depending on your need.

We buy a lot of products for FORMULATRIX such as ROCK IMAGER (both 4c system and RT system), FORMULATOR and NT8 for protein crystallization when using this machine we do face some problems and once I even want to return them back but people from FORMULATRIX always try their best to solve the problems. Finally, I think FORMULATRIX is really a responsible company and they always try their best to serve the customers. More important, the products are easy using.

My supervisor is already impressed that our analysts have hit the ground running with the ROCK IMAGER and have been generating data much faster. Our group workload is increasing and we would like to complement our ROCK IMAGER and FORMULATOR with the NT8 so move our crystallization projects along even faster, and also become a showcase lab for you…we’ve also doubled our throughput in a few short months thanks to FORMULATRIX!
