This PCSK can introduce students and technicians to the field of protein crystallization technology. It contains all the materials you need to start growing a great looking crystal – It’s a real highlight in biochemistry courses.

There are two different experiments can be carried out by using this PCSK:
1. Growing crystals using the hanging drop method, demonstrating the dependence of crystal formation and crystal growth.
2. Growing crystals within minutes using the batch crystallization method.

The protein crystallization starter kit also contains two crystallization plates: cover slides and a microscope slide, a syringe pre-filled with sealing grease, all necessary buffer and salt stock solutions and a small tube containing pre-filtered lysozyme solution.
