title: The advantages of using a modified microbatch method for rapid screening of protein crystallization conditions.
abstract: In this study, characterization and optimization of a modified microbatch crystallization technique has been attempted in order to provide a rapid screening method. Using this method for screening has certain advantages over standard vapour-diffusion methods: no sealing of drops is required, no reservoir solutions are needed and the experiments can easily be performed over a range of temperatures.
