ABSTRACT:
A trial generation station is provided comprising: a deck configured to receive a crystallization plate from a transport mechanism, the crystallization plate including a plurality of trial zones where crystallization trials are generated; and a head configured to be moved relative to the stage, the head including a plurality of primary fluid dispensers, each fluid dispenser being configured to transfer a portion of a mother liquor from the well region of a trial zone to a sample region associated with the trial zone, and one or more secondary fluid dispensers configured to dispense a molecule solution into the sample regions of the wells, the molecule solution including the molecule to be crystallized by the system and at least one of the secondary fluid dispenser being laterally immobilized relative to one or more of the fluid dispensers.
