Hi Dileep,
We have been a user of the NT8 robot going on a year now, and we're quite
happy with it. The initial versions of the machine had a few problems, but
engineers over at Formulatrix have worked out a majority of the bugs and
the current version of the machine functions quite well. We use it mostly
for sitting drop tray setups and for LCP crystallization - haven't
attempted any hanging drop setups, but should work fine. My favorite
feature of this machine is the humidity controlled chamber. You can set
the humidity level within the chamber, and sensors keep the percent
humidity within the user-specified range. It makes evaporation problems
with LCP setups I've experienced in the past virtually non-existent.
Customer service at Formulatrix has also been very quick to reply if
anything ever does go wrong with the machine.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Jim

Hi there:
Has anyone got experience using the Formulatrix NT8 as a 'crystallization
robot'? Other options being considered are Art Robbins Phoenix TTP
Labtech's Mosquito, both of which I have used in the past.
Any feedback on NT8 will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Dileep
