Macromolecular crystallization efforts are frequently divided into a search phase, during which approximate conditions are sought, and an optimization phase, when the approximate conditions are optimized to yield crystals of sufficient quality for diffraction work. Faced with the possibility that, on a yearly basis, many hundreds of proteins might be generated, both in our laboratories and at the laboratories of our collaborators, we have recently designed and commissioned a high throughput robotics lab designed for the search phase. The lab is capable of setting up and photographically evaluating over 60,000 microbatch crystallization experiments per week. In the first four months of operation we have set up crystallization experiments for more than one hundred proteins. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
