Qty 3 Veeco Oasis 1750 Protein Crystal Imaging Systems. Two of them are still brand new in the crate. The 3rd is like-new, having been barely used by its UK-based owner. I have all 3 of these ready for immediate shipment here in the US. Here's some information regarding the Oasis 1750:
The Oasis 1750 System offers high-throughput detection of protein crystal growth. The bench top system, which can be used in cold rooms or cabinets, images 8000 well plates per hour, with software automatically detecting and scoring well plates for prescence of crystalline protein precipitates. An automated cassette handling, bar code reading is included.
The OASIS 1750 automatically locates, characterizes and scores protein crystal growth, providing rapid inspection of more than 8000 wells per hour. A unique autofocus system and patent-pending illumination ensure high image quality and reliable crystal detection, even in occlusion zones or in the presence of precipitates. With high throughput, low operator load and field-proven data analysis, the OASIS 1750 supports both small research efforts and system capacities up to 5000 plates.
Protein crystal detection has traditionally been a tedious, manual process, hampered by two critical shortcomings: a) manual inspection is slow, and b) inspectors can miss vitally important crystals, especially under fatigued conditions. The OASIS 1750 inspects more than 20 times faster than a manual inspector, and more than 3-8 times faster than any other currently available system, allowing multiple views during each crystallization cycle. The system ?scores? each well based on the presence of crystals or precipitates, automatically logging the information to a database. Veeco?s field-proven, rules-based inspection software helps researchers focus analysis efforts on the experiments which yield crystals. Critical to successfully automating the inspection process is the ability to avoid ?false negatives,? or negative readings of wells that have formed crystals. A unique auto focus system and patent-pending illumination technique dramatically reduce false negatives, especially in the shadowy ?occlusion zones? at the edges of test droplets. These regions are a source of false-negatives for lower-powered, automated inspections systems.
