ABSTRACT:
A method is provided that comprises generating a screen storage plate that contains screen solutions at a screen generation station; employing a transport mechanism to transport the screen storage plate from the screen generation station to a screen storage station; storing the screen storage plate in the screen storage station among a plurality of screen storage plates; having the screen storage station retrieve screen storage plate from among the plurality of screen storage plates stored within the screen storage station; and having a crystallization trial generation station generate crystallization trials in a crystallization plate incorporating the screen in the retrieved screen storage plate; wherein the method is performed in a single automated system.
