Protein crystallization is a major bottleneck in determining tertiary protein structures from genomic sequence data. This paper describes a microfluidic system for screening hundreds of protein crystallization conditions using less than 4 nL of protein solution for each crystallization droplet. The droplets are formed by mixing protein, precipitant, and additive stock solutions in variable ratios in a flow of water-immiscible fluids inside microchannels. Each droplet represents a discrete trial testing different conditions. The system has been validated by crystallization of several water-soluble proteins.
