deCODE biostructures is a leading provider of contract research services in
X-ray crystallographic structure determination of protein-ligand complexes.
deCODE's capabilities span the entire gene-to-structure landscape including
gene synthesis, construct engineering, large scale protein production and
purification, high-throughput crystallization screening, small molecule
pre-formulation screening, X-ray diffraction data collection, model building,
and refinement. When partnered with deCODE's chemistry services, deCODE can
provide a complete solution for discovering and developing optimized clinical
candidates in a time efficient manner. In its goal to eliminate bottlenecks in
the gene-to-structure path, deCODE has built and commercialized sophisticated
liquid handling devices (Matrix Maker™, Drop Maker™, Protein Maker™),
microscopes (Crystal Monitor™), plate hotels (CrysTEL™), and integrated data
base control software (Crystal Miner™) used to conduct its services. Validated
through our own research, these Emerald BioSystems™ devices are available for
purchase together with our well-known Crystal Growth Matrices (i.e. Wizard™),
custom screens (Sorcerer™), and crystallization plates (i.e. Clover Plates™).

Fluidigm
website
Fluidigm develops and manufactures innovative systems based on its integrated
fluidic circuits for life-science research. Its first offering, the Topaz(tm)
system, uses IFCs for the initial screening of conditions that crystallize
target proteins and, subsequently, for scaling up those conditions to produce
diffraction-quality crystals. IFCs are miniature devices-also called chips-that
contain a dense network of channels and wells and as many as hundreds of
thousands of valves to regulate the fluids involved in bio-chemical reactions.
In addition to chips and chemistries, Fluidigm provides the hardware and
software to automate the experiment setup and the detection and analysis of
reaction products.
GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences (formerly Amersham Biosciences Corp), is a $2.7
billion business of GE Healthcare that provides medical diagnostics, drug
discovery and protein separation systems. Featured at this meeting will be the
new automated ÄKTAxpressÔ system for parallel, multidimensional high throughput
purification of tagged proteins. Also displayed will be the new Ni Sepharose
High Performance (HisTrapÔ HP) columns which are pre-packed, ready-to-use
columns for the purification of His-tagged recombinant proteins by immobilized
metal affinity chromatography (IMAC).
Oxford Diffraction designs and manufactures protein and chemical single
crystal X-ray diffraction equipment. Our superior products include the
revolutionary protein diffractometer ‘Xcalibur PX Ultra’ and the patented
‘Helijet’ open flow helium jet. ‘Xcalibur PX Ultra’ features a four circle
kappa goniometer, the revolutionary ‘Enhance Ultra’ X-ray source; which
provides comparable X-ray intensity to a 5 kW rotating anode fitted with
multi-graded confocal optics from a 2.2 kW sealed tube and the patented 165 mm
large area ‘Onyx’ CCD detector. Xcalibur PX Ultra is extremely compact, has a
low cost of ownership and is virtually maintenance free.
Rigaku/MSC, is the world's leading resource for single-crystal X-ray
diffraction hardware, software and contract services. Because of the large
variation in requirements from lab to lab, Rigaku/MSC has adopted the
philosophy of offering a completely configurable package for protein
crystallography. A macromolecular home-lab X-ray system consists of five major
components: X-ray generator, optics, area detector, software and crystal
cryo-cooling system. Rigaku/MSC offers options in all five areas so researchers
can customize their lab to fit their experimental needs. Customers who purchase
an X-ray system from Rigaku/MSC will receive the maximum flexibility in
selecting components and also experience the benefits of full system
responsibility from one company.
The TriTek Corporation is a Virginia-based development and manufacturing
company specializing in applications requiring expertise in microscopic video
imaging, analytical software, and computerized motion control. The CrystalPro™
is a complete protein crystal imaging system. This fully-integrated microscopy
system is optimized for unattended data collection and snapshot data analysis.
Patented microscope technology has been configured to image 25µm crystals in a
5mm field-of-view. An optional high-contrast attachment enables viewing of 10µm
crystals in a 1.5mm field-of-view. The CrystalPro™ consists of a
state-of-the-art microscope, precision motorized stage, motorized sub-micron
resolution focus, cold-light illumination system, high-resolution electronic
video imaging system and a current generation personal computer. A customizable
product interface plate completes the robust hardware design.
