Protein crystallography hanging drop lid that individually covers each of the wells in a microplate

A lid that individually covers each of the wells in a microplate and methods for fabricating and using the lid are described herein. The lid includes a series of downwardly protruding necks each of which is sized to fit and seal against one of the wells formed within the microplate. And, each neck h...

More Information
Summary:A lid that individually covers each of the wells in a microplate and methods for fabricating and using the lid are described herein. The lid includes a series of downwardly protruding necks each of which is sized to fit and seal against one of the wells formed within the microplate. And, each neck has a surface covered with a rubber-like substance that ensures a relatively tight seal with each well. In operation, the lid and microplate are preferably used together to grow protein crystals using a hanging drop vapor diffusion crystallization process.
