Protein Crystallography Strategic Opportunities
|
This publication has been discontinued on July 19, 2011.
Overview
Diversified Scientific provides CrystalScore, automated image acquisition and
analysis designed for protein crystallization plates.
Technology
- The database software provides automated hardware control, image and data
archiving, image processing, a searchable database, and surface plotting of
experimental data.
Stage of Development
CrystalScore was one of the first fully automated systems for imaging and
analyzing crystallization plates. A US Patent has been issued for a method for
acquiring, storing and analyzing crystal images.
Competitive Assessment
- STRENGTHS
- Solid installed base of users

- Relatively low cost system
- WEAKNESSES
- Lack of automation capabilities
- No incubated storage offered
- OPPORTUNITIES
- Partner with automated plate storage provider
- THREATS
- Complete crystallization system providers
- Microscope systems providers
