  • the rotation of the vessel can control the rate at which solution reaches this upper surface and consequently the rate at which evaporation of solvent occurs.
  • the at least one vessel is suitably elongate about its up-down axis direction and, for example, may be cylindrical.
  • the at least one vessel may, for example, comprise a cavity in a block of material, for example, in a block of glass, a polymer material such as PTFE, or a metal which is inert to the solvent, substance and solution.
  • the at least one vessel may comprise a discrete vessel such as a glass or polymer vial.
  • a suitable volume of the vessel is about 0.5 to about 2.0 ml, more preferably, about 1 to about 1.5 ml.
  • the upper opening of the at least one vessel may, for example, be circular and may, for example, be the same cross-section as that of a cylindrical vessel.
  • plural vessels may be used, suitably all of the same size and shape.
  • plural vessels may comprise plural cavities in a block.
  • plural vessels may comprise plural discrete vessels supported in a rack.
  • Plural vessels are suitably arranged in a regular array, for example, in an array format corresponding to the position and spacing of arrays handled by standard liquid manipulation apparatus. Typically this may be a standard 96 well, e.g., 12 x 8 vessel rectangular array format.
  • an array e.g., a 12 x 8 array may conform to the standard dimensions for microtiter plates as recommended by The Society of Biomolecular Screening.
  • the porous membrane may be made of any suitable material into which the solution may permeate and from which the solvent may evaporate, and which is inert to the solvent, solution and substance.
  • Typical materials include fabric or compacted fiber materials, sintered materials such as porous polymers, and, in particular, a fine stainless steel mesh, e.g. a 2 micron steel mesh.
  • a membrane support may support plural porous membranes in a corresponding array.
  • Such a membrane support may comprise a mask of a suitable material pierced with apertures in an array corresponding to the array of vessels, and a porous membrane obstructing each aperture.
  • Such a membrane support may be positioned adjacent the upper end of each vessel, such that its apertures are in communication with the corresponding upper open end of a vessel. Suitable dimensions, e.g., area, pore size and thickness for such a porous membrane may be determined
  • Stainless steel provides the advantage that it is inert, "invisible", to the laser radiation used in Raman spectroscopy. Therefore, Raman spectroscopy can be used to analyze crystals in situ on such a stainless steel mesh. Furthermore, the apparatus of the invention allows the crystals formed by evaporation to accumulate on the surface of the membrane thereby improving the strength of the Raman signal relative to the background noise.
  • a constriction may comprise a mask having an aperture therethrough of smaller cross-section than the porous membrane. Such a mask may be placed adjacent to the upper surface of the membrane so that the aperture is in communication with the opening of the vessel through the membrane.

  • such an assembly of one or plural vessels, an optional rack, a porous membrane and optional constriction may be supported in a frame comprising a lower base support and an upper support, with the assembly sandwiched between the base support and an upper support.
  • this is under a suitable compression to prevent leakage of solvent.
  • Leakage of solvent may also be prevented by means of optional compressible gaskets, "O" rings, etc. between, for example, the opening of the vessel and the porous membrane.

  • the drive shaft of such an electric motor may communicate rotary force to the frame, so that the vessel, porous membrane, etc. rotates correspondingly.
  • the means to rotate the at least one vessel and/or the balance of the assembly of frame, vessel(s), etc. may be set that the default position is with the vessel(s) in the upright position. With such a setting, if the motor or electric power fails, liquid is not likely to be lost by spillage.
  • the apparatus may include means to control the temperature within the vessel(s), for example, a generally conventional heating jacket or, for example, an assembly of vessel(s) etc. in the above-mentioned frame may be located within a temperature controlled environment.
  • the apparatus may further comprise a control system constructed to rotate the vessel(s) at a suitable speed (e.g., to avoid centrifugal retention of solution against the lower surface of the membrane) and for a suitable time, and to maintain a suitable temperature.
  • the control system may be adapted to cause the means to rotate the at least one vessel to rotate in any selected rotation mode.
  • the control system may be constructed to provide uniform continuous circular rotation or, for example, a pulsed inversion mode, in which the vessel is held for a dwell time in the inverted orientation then rotated back into the upright orientation for a dwell time in the upright configuration before rotating it into the inverted configuration, then repeating this sequence.
  • the control system may include a timer so that a suitable time period of rotation may be set. Motors are available with a built-in programmable control system enabling suitable rotation regimes to be set without the need for an external control system.
  • the atmosphere outside of the vessel into which the solvent evaporates may be ambient air.
  • the atmosphere may be an atmosphere of, for example, controlled composition such as an inert gas such as nitrogen, controlled pressure, humidity or temperature.
  • Such an atmosphere may be maintained under the control of the control system inside a closed enclosure.
  • suitable solvents include any volatile solvent which can dissolve the substance to be crystallized and evaporate to deposit crystals of the substance.
  • suitable solvents for any particular compound will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Examples of such solvents include water, acetonitrile, 2-propanol and tetrahydrofuran. Preferably the solution of the substance in the solvent is saturated.
  • the process may be operated at ambient temperature, or a temperature elevated, or reduced relative to ambient temperature.
  • the process may be operated under an ambient air atmosphere or under a protective or inert atmosphere such as nitrogen.
  • the process may be performed under ambient humidity but is suitably operated with the apparatus inside a typical laboratory "dry box", for example, a sealed enclosure with its interior kept as water-free as possible by means of a desiccant within the enclosure.
  • the process may be operated with a static atmosphere, but is preferably operated under an atmosphere which is flowing, to assist removal of vapor of the solvent as it evaporates.
  • the vessel may be rotated in various rotation modes.
  • An example of such a mode is uniform continuous circular rotation.
  • Another mode is pulsed inversion mode, in which the vessel is held for a dwell time in the inverted orientation then rotated back into the upright orientation for a dwell time in the upright configuration before rotating it into the inverted configuration, then repeating this sequence.
  • Other modes of rotation may be appropriate for different solvents, substances and solutions.
  • Such modes of rotation may be set by the control system of the apparatus. Uniform continuous circular motion may be used to achieve a relatively fast evaporation, whereas pulsed inversion mode may be used to achieve relatively slow evaporation.
  • the apparatus may be dissembled, and the formed crystals may be further investigated in situ on the surface of the membrane, e.g., by
  • microscopy particularly polarized light microscopy, or by spectroscopy, in particular Raman spectroscopy.
  • spectroscopy in particular Raman spectroscopy.
  • the use of a stainless steel porous membrane is advantageous as steel does not rotate plane- polarized light and appears black when examined using polarized light microscopy, making a contrast background for crystals, and steel exhibits negligible fluorescence background and is "invisible" to Raman spectroscopy.
