Technical Specifications

Temperature-Controlled 42-Plate Hotel

Scope of Supply Provide the shipping, installation, integration, and training of BNL staff for a 42-plate temperature-controlled plate hotel with automated plate transfer and out-of-the-box compatibility with the Art Robbins CrysCam UV imaging system.

Overall Design The supplied system shall provide complete mechanical, electrical, and software compatibility with the Art Robbins CrysCam UV. The plate hotel application shall fully integrate with the Art Robbins CrysCam UV software package and provide access to all plate hotel functions and operational capabilities through the CrysCam UV user interface.

The temperature-controlled plate hotel shall:

• Store 42 SBS-format crystallization plates.

• Have a compact footprint not exceeding 25 × 40 × 25 inches.

• Automatically transfer plates from the temperature-controlled storage compartment to the Art Robbins CrysCam UV imaging stage.

• Require no custom adapter plates or mechanical modifications to interface with the

Art Robbins CrysCam UV system.

Plate Capacity

• Capacity for 42 SBS-format crystallization plates.

Supported Plate Formats

• SBS/ANSI-SLAS standard plates

• Low-profile SBS plates

• Linbro plates

• LCP slides without adapters

• User-defined SBS plate geometries

Plate Management and Automation

• Front-door access for manual plate loading and unloading.

• Integrated barcode reader.

• Automated robotic plate retrieval from the storage carousel.

Attachment 1

• Automated linear transfer of plates to the Art Robbins CrysCam UV imaging station.

• Rotary carousel with a storage capacity of 42 plates.

Temperature Control The incubator shall maintain protein crystallization plates within a controlled thermal environment during long-term crystallization experiments.

• User-selectable temperature control.

• Stable temperature regulation during long-term operation.

• Temperature monitoring with continuous recording.

• Temperature data accessible through the Art Robbins CrysCam UV software.

• Temperature data archived and/or accessible through an API for external archival.

• Temperature-controlled storage between 4 °C and 25 °C.

• Continuous incubation between scheduled imaging sessions.

• Support for unattended crystal growth monitoring over periods ranging from days to months.

Compatibility with the Art Robbins CrysCam UV The temperature-controlled 42-plate hotel shall be fully compatible with the Art Robbins CrysCam UV imaging system.

Compatibility shall include:

• Mechanical compatibility with the instrument footprint.

• Alignment of the automated plate transfer mechanism with the imaging stage.

• Full access to all 42 plate positions through the CrysCam UV software.

• Complete software integration for plate inventory, scheduling, imaging workflows, and experiment management.

• Access to temperature monitoring and control through the CrysCam UV software.

• Automatic synchronization of plate identification, imaging history, and temperature records with the experiment database.

Documentation, Warranty, and Software

• Complete system documentation, including installation, operation, maintenance, and software manuals.

• Minimum one-year warranty covering parts and labor.

• Software licenses with no recurring subscription or annual software maintenance fees.

Installation and Training The 42-plate temperature-controlled hotel shall be installed and integrated by qualified Art Robbins field engineers or authorized technical personnel.

The supplier shall provide onsite training for BNL personnel covering:

• Operation of the plate hotel.

• Temperature control functions.

• Plate loading and retrieval.

• Integration with the Art Robbins CrysCam UV software.

• Routine maintenance and troubleshooting.

Upon completion of installation, the integrated system shall be fully operational within the designated NSLS-II laboratory space.
