    摘要: A high-density high-throughput microplate and methods for simultaneously screening a plurality of protein crystallization solutions and for producing diffraction quality protein crystals in a vapor-diffusion environment are disclosed. The microplate has defined side-by-side paired chambers of equal size, wherein the side-by-side paired chambers have a maximum volume of about 8 μl, and wherein the paired chambers have a vapor channel, therein providing vapor exchange between the side-by-side paired chambers. The microplate further includes a membrane to seal the surface of the microplate. The microplate is adapted to receive a crystallization solution in one of the side-by-side paired chambers and a protein solution in the other of the side-by-side paired chambers, wherein the protein solution and the crystallization solution interact via a vapor diffusion process, which enables the formation of protein crystals within the chamber that contains the protein solution.
