RoboDesign International

RoboDesign International was a specialized technology company that developed automated systems for the life sciences, specifically focusing on protein crystallography and high-throughput screening. The company's flagship product, the CrystalMation system, provided a fully integrated environment for protein crystallization, from plate preparation to image analysis. By automating these complex processes, RoboDesign helped pharmaceutical and academic researchers accelerate structural biology studies and drug discovery. The company was acquired by Rigaku in 2003, integrating its automation expertise into Rigaku's X-ray diffraction product line.
