A CRYSTALLISATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A system (10) for growing crystals, preferably bio macromolecular crystals (including protein crystals, and without excluding nucleic acids etc), having an array (14) of wells or channels (16) defined in a substrate, the wells or channels (16) being for receiving a crystallisation solution. Associated with the array (14) is a temperature controller (24) for creating a temperature differential across at least part thereof.
