ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for operating a crystallization system comprising identifying a screen storage plate from among the plurality of screen storage plates stored in a screen storage station, each screen storage plate having a plurality of wells that contain a screen solution and at least a portion of the screen storage plates having a selection of screen solutions that is different from the selection of screen solutions held in other screen storage plates; having a transport mechanism transport the identified screen storage plate to a screen replicator; transporting a plurality of crystallization plates to the screen replicators; and having the screen replicator transfer the screen solutions from the identified screen storage plate to the plurality of crystallization plates.
