Abstract

We proposed an efficient protein crystallization device that applied a multi-microdroplet trapping method[1]. 30 protein contained microdroplets were trapped and multiple protein crystallization were performed at the same time. The device was fabricated by a flow channel formed PDMS and a PDMS coated glass substrate. In order to obtain damageless extraction of generated protein crystal, PDMS-PDMS bonding strength was controlled by optimizing composition of PDMS and curing condition. Protein crystallization was observed in 60 percent of trapped microdroplets within six hours. 100 μm lysozyme crystals were extracted from the device without damage.
