BIOCRYSTALLIZER Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: production of monocrystals of macromolecules. SUBSTANCE: biocrystallizer has thermostat, where crystallization cells are positioned. Cells are formed as module with chambers for solutions of protein and precipitator and with module switching device. At least one cassette is inserted into device. Each cassette has a row of like seats for placing crystallization modules in contact one with the other. Each cassette has drive for simultaneous switching of cells with indicator. Drive is engageable with device for switching cells. EFFECT: increased efficiency, enhanced reliability in growing of monocrystals, improved convenience in operation at any preparatory stage at post-flight service stage and provision for equal predetermined conditions of crystallization for all cells. 2 cl, 6 dwg
