CrystalBreeder
Enhance your early stage solid state screening with the CrystalBreeder bench-top system
CrystalBreeder is the next generation multi-reactor crystallization platform for medium-throughput solid-state research, operating at working volumes of 0.1 mL. Run rapid complete crystallization screens with as little as 1 mg of sample. CrystalBreeder provides real time turbidity readings for 32 parallel temperature-controlled experiments. When early solubility information is essential, stop guessing and let CrystalBreeder put you in the lead.
