@patent {weigl_united_2002, title = {United {States} {Patent}: 6409832 - {Protein} crystallization in microfluidic structures}, number = {6409832}, year = {2002}, month = {jun}, abstract = {A device for promoting protein crystal growth (PCG) using microfluidic channels. A protein sample and a solvent solution are combined within a microfluidic channel having laminar flow characteristics which forms diffusion zones, providing for a well defined crystallization. Protein crystals can then be harvested from the device. The device is particularly suited for microgravity conditions.}, url = {http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2\&Sect2=HITOFF\&p=1\&u=\%2Fnetahtml\%2FPTO\%2Fsearch-bool.html\&r=26\&f=G\&l=50\&co1=AND\&d=PTXT\&s1=\%22Weigl\%3B+Bernhard\%22.INNM.\&OS=IN/\%22Weigl;+Bernhard\%22\&RS=IN/\%22Weigl;+Bernhard\%22}, author = {Weigl, Bernhard H. and Sygusch, Jurgen and CA} }
