Devices for mixing of significantly different fluids: Applications in protein crystallization.
This device enables the metering and mixing of two fluids of significantly different viscosities and potentially non-Newtonian fluid behavior. Mixing is performed using large pneumatically actuated valves to drive fluid flow in a sequence that prevents fluid stagnation and facilitates mixing. This device can be used, for example, in the preparation of aqueous/lipid mesophases for in-meso membrane protein crystallization.For more information, please contact the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Office of Technology Management at otm@illinois.edu.
