The Gryphon Family is an industry-leading family of robotic pipettors designed specifically for protein crystallography. With unsurpassed reliability, performance, and speed, the Gryphon is the ideal protein crystallization pipettor for drop-setting all of your crystallization assays.
Why Choose a Gryphon?
- Evaporation is not an issue with the dual-dispense heads of the Gryphon. A 96-well LCP plate can be sealed in one minute, and a vapor diffusion plate in under one minute.
- Versatile and upgradable. Add a nano or LCP/Seeding dispenser at any point in the future.
- Set up LCP, seeding, sponge phase, bicelle, sitting drop, hanging drop, and microbatch assays all in one system.
- Dispense 96 buffers simultaneously and achieve reproducible results due to minimal volatile buffer evaporation.
- A 96-well LCP plate can be sealed in under 2 minutes and a vapor diffusion plate in under 1 minute.
- One instrument transfers both buffers and protein into a crystallization plate with best-in-class precision, accuracy, and reliability.
- Syringes eliminate the need for costly and environmentally unsustainable disposal tip usage,
The ARI Crystal Gryphon protein crystallization pipettor can be used to set up sitting drop, hanging drop and microbatch plates with volumes down to 100nL. The system consists of a 96 channel syringe head for dispensing buffer solutions and a non-contact protein dispenser. It comes complete with a computer and easy-to-use drag-and-drop software.
By combining a 96-channel head with a single-channel protein dispense head, a 96-well plate can be set up and sealed in less than 1 minute. This assures that evaporation will not affect your assays.
An optional 24-channel head is available for setting up optimization plates. Using this head with the INTELLI-PLATE™ 24-4, you can set up 4 optimization assays with each buffer solution.
