Abstract

A protein crystallization system with large number of cells for vapor and liquid/liquid diffusion was developed for crystallization of protein and other macromolecules in space. It has high ratio of cell number over system dimension or mass. A facility with it can save the space resource and suitable for boarding of many kinds of spacecraft.
