Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0226342A1] Apparatus and methods are provided for independently controlling dynamic, reagent-induced transformations of multiple samples including proteins being crystallized and cells being cultured. The invention provides an automatic robotic device that enhances protein crystallization in high-throughput, using reagent reservoirs (28) linked to reagent chambers (40), with sample chambers (44) communicating with the reagent chambers (40) via semipermeable membrane.
