Formulatrix is proud to present Dr. Katsuhiko Murakami of Pennsylvania State University with a donation of a Rock Imager 54 crystallization imaging system and a seat of Rock Maker crystallization software. Out of the numerous packages we received from labs around the world, Dr. Murakami’s stood out in terms of impact to further the human condition and overall need of this laboratory automation. We wish him and his fellow researchers at Pennsylvania State University the best of luck with their research, which we hope our contribution will accelerate.

We would also like to thank all the laboratories that took the time to apply for the donation. It was a very hard decision for us to pick only one recipient.
