A Droplet-Based, Composite PDMS/Glass Capillary Microfluidic System for Evaluating Protein Crystallization Conditions by Microbatch and Vapor-Diffusion Methods with On-Chip X-Ray Diffraction

On‐chip protein crystallization and diffraction: Proteins can be crystallized in nanoliter volumes by using both microbatch and vapor‐diffusion techniques inside composite PDMS/glass microfluidic devices (PDMS=polydimethylsiloxane). The quality of crystals can be assessed directly by on‐chip X‐ray d...

Description
Summary:On‐chip protein crystallization and diffraction: Proteins can be crystallized in nanoliter volumes by using both microbatch and vapor‐diffusion techniques inside composite PDMS/glass microfluidic devices (PDMS=polydimethylsiloxane). The quality of crystals can be assessed directly by on‐chip X‐ray diffraction (see picture).
