NewPin is also supported by the US synchrotron NSLS-II and by European and American companies active in the field of consumables and robotics (MiTeGen, Molecular Dimensions, Irelec and Arinax).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two sample holder models named&nbsp;<a href=\"#NewPin\"><em>NewPin<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"#MiniSpine\"><em>miniSPINE<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;were initially proposed. Both allow the storage of 36 samples in pucks with a uni-puck style footprint. A robot gripper that acts as a cold buffer can manipulate both the miniSPINE and NewPin sample holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A puck and a robot gripper compatible with the SPINE sample holders (<a href=\"#SpinePlus\"><em>SPINEplus<\/em><\/a>) have also been defined to facilitate the migration from SPINE to miniSPINE and NewPin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"vf-figure  | vf-figure--align vf-figure--align-centered \"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"vf-figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/instrumentation.embl.fr\/newpin\/pictures\/illustration1.png\" alt=\"Spines\" title=\"Sample Holder Line\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Initial evaluation of miniSPINE and NewPin was made at the EMBL ESRF\/GRG beamline BM14 using a robotic setup based on a six 6 axis industrial robot, a compatible&nbsp;<em>robot gripper<\/em>&nbsp;and a Dewar (<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.iucr.org\/d\/issues\/2017\/10\/00\/gm5054\/\">FlexED8: the first member of a fast and flexible sample-changer family for macromolecular crystallography, 2017, Acta Cryst.
