Although the Douglas robots are generally cheaper, we think they beat
all other robots in several areas:
1. All of the Oryx systems waste virtually no protein - you would set
up a (100 + 100 nl) sitting drop plate with only 9.8 microlitres of
protein

2. They are very versatile: simply by choosing a different icon/script
you can set up a microseeding "MMS", additive experiment, or grid (e.g.
additive etc. vs protein conc.)

3. You can do large (2 + 2) drops as well as small. This is very
important for crystal harvesting etc.

The robots don't dispense the reservoirs, but they can do optimization
of the drops.

Best wishes

Patrick
