ABSTRACT:
A crystallization system is provided that comprises a screen replicator having a transfer mechanism configured to transfer portions of different screen solutions contained in a screen storage plate to well regions of a crystallization plate; a screen storage station including a housing configured to store a plurality of screen storage plates and mechanics for retrieving a selected screen storage plate from among the plurality of screen storage plates for transport to the screen replicator; a transport mechanism configured to transport a screen storage plate retrieved by the screen storage station to the screen replicator; and a controller including logic for causing the screen storage station to retrieve the selected screen storage plate from among the plurality of screen storage plates, logic for causing the transport mechanism to transport the selected screen storage plate from the screen storage station to the screen replicator, and logic for causing the screen replicator to transfer portions of different screen solutions from the selected screen storage plate to the well regions of the crystallization plate.
