    Product Overview
    Crystal Shifter® is an automated crystallography platform developed by Oxford Lab Technologies (OLT) in the UK. It integrates hardware and specialized software, specifically designed for protein crystallography laboratories. The device has been adopted by top global pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and academic institutions.

    Unique Product Advantages
    Hardware-Software Integration: Provides not only hardware platforms but also a software ecosystem tailored for crystallography workflows.
    Comprehensive Integration Capability: Seamlessly interfaces with laboratory equipment such as imagers, dispensers, beamline software, and barcode readers.
    Versatility: Supports both sitting-drop and hanging-drop plate imaging.
    Sample Soaking Functionality: Equipped with sample soaking capabilities.
    Dual Plate Operation: Can simultaneously handle two different plate types (MRC3 and MRC2).
    High Capacity: Accommodates up to 25 plates at a time.
    Proven Effectiveness: Independent studies confirm that it "significantly enhances crystallography workflow efficiency, reduces manual task time, increases the number of structures solved, while maintaining or improving diffraction quality."
    Core Pain Points Addressed
    Low Manual Crystal Handling Efficiency: Traditional methods require technicians to perform manual operations under microscopes for extended periods.
    High Crystal Loss Rate: Precious crystals are prone to loss during manual harvesting.
    Data Silos: Experimental data scattered across disparate systems, making integration and analysis challenging.
    High Skill Dependency: Traditional methods rely on highly skilled personnel, resulting in elevated training costs.
    Disconnected Workflows: Lack of systematic integration across stages from crystal growth to data collection.
