RoboDiff: combining a sample changer and goniometer for highly automated macromolecular crystallography experiments

An industrial six-axis robot has been combined with a high-accuracy air-bearing rotation axis to create a single device with the capabilities of both transferring cryocooled protein crystals from a sample-containing dewar and collecting complete X-ray diffraction data sets.
