Handheld High Density Protein Crystal Growth
Short Name: HDPCG
Current Status: On Ground
The Handheld High Density Protein Crystal Growth hardware is a container that holds five Level III Growth Cell Assemblies, which are used to hold individual vapor diffusion experiments. Each Level III Growth Cell Assembly contains six sample wells, for a total of 30 experiment samples per Handheld HDPCG unit.
The Level III Growth Cell Assemblies provide triple-level containment for the experiment solutions and weigh less than 1.0 lbs when filled.
The hardware was designed for commonality with typical laboratory vapor diffusion systems. The HDPCG hardware has been successfully used by numerous commercial, government and academic customers on the Commercial visiting vehicles and ISSInternational Space Station.
