Recent trends in macromolecular crystallography have dictated the development of various methods that facilitate high-throughput experiments, specifically at synchrotron sources. Equally as important, and often less emphasized in the success of high-throughput methods are the procedures that take place much earlier in the home laboratory. This presentation will focus on recent developments in Bruker Nonius hardware and software that are key to high-throughput experiments in the home laboratory. hese include robotics, automatic sample recognition and positioning, fast screening of samples and sample management, all which are essential in the success of the overall process
