Dear Jan Dohnalek IMC Prague We bought an Oryx 8 last year, and have been pleased with it. It's robust and I can fix many things myself. The best thing though have been that every time I have problems, e.g. after version update I have had support immediately - so that the robot didn't have weeks of downtime.
We do many different experimental setups - without proper statistics I still believe that about 90 % of the experiments we setup are setup of low drop volume screening using commercial available screens. We have recently implemented a method for Oryx 8 published in Acta Cryst D, "An automated micro seed matrix-screening method for protein crystallization" with tremendous success" with great success. You welcome to contact me by phone, if you want to discuss the purchase further.

Is anyone out there with any kind of experience with these? Jan Dohnalek IMC Prague
