The PX Scanner is a revolutionary product from Agilent Technologies designed specifically for the in-situ identification and analysis of protein crystals within multi-well crystallisation plates. This application note presents a collection of experimental results obtained using the PX Scanner.
The document introduces the Agilent PX Scanner, a device designed for the in-situ identification and analysis of protein crystals within multi-well crystallisation plates. It serves as an application note showcasing the capabilities of this X-ray crystallography tool.
The text details results from benchmarking the scanner on various proteins, including Thaumatin and Lysozyme, which showed strong diffraction. It also presents data on challenging proteins, such as intrinsic membrane proteins and weakly diffracting soluble proteins, highlighting the scanner's utility in screening small crystals that might be difficult to analyze at a synchrotron.
