JBScreen Wizard – Smart Screening Solutions for Crystallization Success

Crystals

Streamline your crystallization workflow with JBScreen Wizard. Systematically designed screening kits combine well-established conditions with innovative formulations to efficiently explore crystallization space - helping you identify initial hits faster and optimize them with confidence.

Finding suitable crystallization conditions is often the most time-consuming step in structural biology. Our JBScreen Wizard series has been specifically developed to simplify and accelerate this process by offering systematically designed primary screens for efficient hit identification.

Systematic screening approach

The JBScreen Wizard kits are based on a rational design strategy, combining frequently successful crystallization conditions reported in the literature with proprietary optimizations. The screens are organized to cover a broad chemical space, including variations in:
  • Precipitants (e.g. PEGs of different molecular weights)
  • Buffers and pH ranges
  • Salts and additives
This structured approach increases the likelihood of obtaining initial crystallization hits, even for difficult or novel targets.

Modular concept for stepwise optimization

The JBScreen Wizard series is available in multiple sets (Wizard 1 - 4), allowing you to:

  • Start with broad initial screening
  • Identify promising conditions
  • Proceed to focused optimization strategies
The modular workflow supports a logical progression from screening to crystal improvement.

Key advantages

  • Literature-based conditions combined with optimized formulations
  • High diversity of conditions for comprehensive screening
  • Ready-to-use formats for convenient handling
  • Reproducible results for reliable downstream applications
