abstract = {We previously introduced the spitrobot, a protein crystal
plunging system that enables reaction quenching via
cryo-trapping with a time resolution in the millisecond
range. Here we present the next generation, spitrobot-2, as
an integrated benchtop device. User-friendliness has been
improved by semi-automatic sample exchange. Moreover, a
fully automated shutter shields the liquid nitrogen from the
humidified environment, improving sample integrity. Most
importantly, the cryo-trapping delay time has been reduced
to 23 ms, making spitrobot-2 twice as fast as the previous
generation. This further expands the number of target
systems that can be addressed by cryo-trapping time-resolved
crystallography. Using 12 crystal structures of three
independent model systems, we demonstrate successful
cryo-trapping via observation of conformational changes and
ligand binding within 25 ms. These improvements increase
the convenient access to cryo-trapping, time-resolved X-ray
crystallography empowering the MX community with efficient
tools to advance research in structural biology.},
