摘要
An automated platform for parallel crystallization of small organic molecules from solution is described. The principal gain over manual crystallization lies in the automated sequencing of crystallization steps, including computer-controlled dosing of liquids and solids. The platform is designed to conduct 32 crystallizations per day, from solution volumes up to 10 ml, allowing a search for physical forms to be conducted over a finer grid than might be accessible manually and thereby increasing the probability of success.
