I would like to add that contrary to popular belief, MPD would have to be treated as a volatile in the example you give below. It vaporizes, although very slowly, as can be proven by leaving a 1uL drop of it in open air for a couple of days. Cheers, Jose Antonio Cuesta Seijo. Jacob Keller

regardless of what such a (kinetic) calculator will calculate at the end - we will have to feed it with data of the type vapour pressure vs. concentration and temperature of substance X. Even without a whole simulation tool for the kinetics of a vapour diffusion experiment this will already

Dear Crystallographers, Is anybody aware of a calculator for vapor diffusion experiments to plot concentrations of various solvent components as a function of time? For a simple example, what happens when I mix a protein solution containing 50mM NaCl 1:1 with a reservoir containing 50% MPD

Good Idea! You would have to specify volume and surface area for the two aqueous phases, and maybe volume of the vapor phase. To keep it simple assume diffusion within each phase is fast compared to transfer between, so you don't develop gradients within the liquid phase and unstirred layer
