TOPAZ® System Advantages

The TOPAZ® system is setting new standards for efficiency in protein crystallization. It consists of chips, reagents, hardware, and software which simplify and automate nanoscale free interface diffusion (FID)—a method that samples a broader chemical space than conventional approaches. Fluidigm continues to improve system performance through higher density chips, specialized reagent sets, and protocols in areas such as co-crystallization, optimization, and sample preparation. The system also offers the ability to integrate Topaz and drop-based workflows onto one platform.

The advantages of the TOPAZ system include:

• 10-1000 times less sample consumption than standard methods
• The most accurate crystal calling in the industry
• Database suite to manage the entire crystallization process
• Option to image drop-based experiments
