METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING ARRAY MICROCRYSTALLIZATIONS

摘要

A method is provided for performing array microcrystallizations to determine suitable crystallization conditions for a molecule. The method comprises forming an array of microcrystallizations, each microcrystallization comprising a drop containing a molecule to be crystallized, the drop having a volume of less than 1 .mu.L; storing the array of microcrystallizations unde r conditions suitable for molecule crystals to form in the drops in the array; and detecting molecule crystal formation in the drops.
