I would like to echo the good things that have been said about the Oryx8. We bought one in 2016 and it has been essentially trouble-free. The instrument is used by multiple people from different labs, including undergrads, graduate students, and postdocs. Robustness and ease-of-use are essential in multiuser, academic environments, and the Oryx8 has proven to be a robust instrument that seems unbreakable. The few issues we have had, like alignment problems or the drops not getting set correctly, were solved quickly via email support from Douglas. Support from Douglas has been outstanding. Stefan always replies fast and sometimes Patrick provides help. Another big plus of the Oryx8 is low consumable costs.
In summary, I have two crystallization robots in my lab and only one of them is operational – the Oryx8.

Hello, Does anyone have experience with either the Oryx8 or Formulatrix NT8 for setting up crystallization trays? Both instruments look very capable on paper. I am looking for something that is easy to use, robust, and can handle a variety of different crystallization experiments (screening and optimization). What do you like/dislike about either system? Thanks for your insights!
