ROCK MAKER^® LIMS from FORMULATRIX

ROCK MAKER^® LIMS provides users the ability to:

Design and Manage Experiments with Ease -

• Screen your proteins against sparse screens
• Screen Experiment Wizard makes experiment design a breeze - creating multiple screen experiments for one or more proteins takes less than a minute.
• Most commonly used screens come pre-loaded
• Unique barcodes allow you to track your experiments from dispensing to imaging and scoring

Dynamically and Efficiently View & Score Images -

• Images taken by ROCK IMAGER are collected by ROCK MAKER^® LIMS
• Measure crystals and add notes directly to the image itself
• Bring out details of your images using the leveling histogram optically zoom in with a Region of Interest (ROI).
• Navigate through and score your images using your keyboard and customizable scoring schemas
• View up to four drops simultaneously or compare different inspections of the same drop
• View images with multiple modes including slideshow & full-screen

Automatically Score Your Drops with MARCO -

• One bottleneck to protein crystallography is manually scoring those protein drop images, which is often very time-consuming and tedious.
• MARCO is now integrated in ROCK MAKER and can automatically score your drops with just a few clicks.

Zero in on the Optimal Crystallization Conditions -

• Perform a quick multidimensional optimization of various conditions, varying concentrations and pHs of the ingredients along rows, columns, and/or quadrants within a plate
• Yield protein crystals from conditions that initially do not look promising with Iterative Screen Optimization (ISO)
• Generate fully randomized optimization screens based on promising conditions of your choice
• Analyze Your Data to Improve Future Experiment Design
• Use Search and Filter to mine your data to uncover trends based on a variety of parameters, helping you to continue your research efforts and focus in on conditions likely to grow bigger and better crystals
• Create and manipulate charts to visualize your experiment results
• Print various experiment reports for your lab notebooks
