Loading crystal mounted pins into a Rigaku Puck can be a time consuming process with great potential for error. Even for the most skilled technician, pins can often become mis-seated and cause the robot to crash, damaging crystals and delaying research efforts. The Quick Puck Loader was designed to offer scientists a better way. |

QUICK PUCK LOADER Inventor: Aiping Dong (University of Toronto) Keywords: Crystallography, Rigaku, Puck, ACTOR, Crystal Product Description: The Quick Puck Loader, invented at Structural Genomics Consortium at Toronto, was designed to load crystal mounted pins into the Rigaku? style puck quickly and easily while reducing the potential for mis-seating. This tool was designed to be used with both a Rigaku? Puck and Puck Tong. Just load pins directly into the Quick Puck Loader, and then fit the Rigaku? Puck overtop and use the Puck tongs to firmly grasp and flip. Pins are perfectly seated. No more losing crystals. The device is currently used in leading research labs including: University Health Network (Canada), York University and the Structural Genomics Consortium.
