SAMPLE GRIPPER SG-1

Sample environments and sample handling

In high-throughput macromolecular X-ray crystallography sample handling is typically performed with a robotic arm.
Our sample gripper SG-1 can be attached to commonly used robotic systems, and allows to pick a sample from the
liquid nitrogen storage dewar, and place it on the crystallography goniometer.
