The Handheld PCF system consists of a cylindrical housing containing 35 individual protein crystal crystallization experiments. Each experiment is contained within its own protein bottle. Experiment solutions are prepared and stored at a specified temperature (between -95 and 37 °C). On orbit, a crew member will initiate the growth process by altering the storage temperature. |
