A system and a method for screening of nucleation tendency of a molecule,
such as a macromolecule, based on acoustic, electrostatic or hybrid
acoustic/electrostatic levitation of a droplet for optimizing
crystallization conditions for said molecule. This allows for a
controlled approach to determination of supersaturation and allows for
screening of crystal nucleation conditions within minutes and hours
instead of months and years with a minute amount of starting material
compared to conventional crystallization methods.
