mosquito® makes protein crystallography screening faster, more cost-effective and quite simply easier than ever before. 

Compatible with all standard crystallography plates, mosquito's positive displacement micropipettes can handle a wide range of viscosities, and no set-up changes are required for different liquids.

mosquito’s precise drop placement and repeatability means drops are placed centrally in the sub-wells of sitting-drop plates, minimising problems with drops being distorted by the well walls or drops not coinciding.

mosquito® is capable of automating high density 96 well hanging drop plate preparation. Because it pipettes in columns, mosquito® can mirror the reservoir solution onto a plate seal, whilst its accurate small drop-size is ideal for both soluble and membrane proteins.

mosquito’s accuracy and repeatability allows users to create several multi-component drops per well, even in 96-well hanging drop set-ups. These drops allow different constructs, volume ratios or protein concentrations to be assessed at the same time. This can yield 288 conditions in a single sitting or hanging drop plate.

mosquito® is also capable of multiple aspirations before a single dispense. This technique is essential to automating additive screening and allows a combination of solutions to be dispensed simultaneously – with additional mixing if required – resulting in perfect drop formation with no protein evaporation.
