About
Robbert Klaering is a key figure in advancing high-throughput structural biology, specializing in the automation of synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments. His primary research focuses on developing instrumental setups that enable rapid, large-scale studies of biological macromolecules in solution. Klaering’s major contributions include the creation of an automated sample-changing robot for the EMBL Hamburg SAXS station X33, a prototype that revolutionized data collection efficiency by allowing seamless, high-volume sample exchange. This work, published in 2008, has garnered 138 citations, underscoring its foundational impact on the field. He further refined this approach with a 2012 paper detailing a comprehensive instrumental setup for high-throughput small- and wide-angle solution scattering at the same beamline, which introduced a multi-cell compartment for rapid switching between in-vacuum and in-air measurements, earning 71 citations. Klaering’s innovations have significantly reduced experimental bottlenecks, enabling researchers to conduct systematic SAXS studies with unprecedented speed and reproducibility. His achievements are notable for bridging engineering and structural biology, making him a pivotal contributor to the automation of synchrotron facilities and a resource for scientists seeking efficient macromolecular characterization.
