  • Patent number: 8986449
    Abstract: The invention relates to a microfluidic device for promoting crystallization of target molecules, such as proteins. The device comprises a solid structure with a top face and an opposite bottom face and with a least one liquid channel. The liquid channel comprises a target molecule solution inlet and at least two precipitant inlets. The target molecule solution inlet is in liquid communication with each of the precipitant inlets through the liquid channel. The liquid channel comprises a branching channel section adjacent to the target molecule solution inlet, crystallization channel sections adjacent to the respective precipitant inlets and flow break channel sections arranged between the branching channel section and each of the crystallization channel sections.
