Regarding stochastic processes: to increase the chances of nucleation one would like to have protein in the right nucleation zone for a certain period of time. If the drop becomes too small, the ratio evaporation surface/drop volume changes. So, the nucleation zone might be reached within the

In our original work on a prototype, we used the Cartesian technology. We were able to dispense 10nL+10nL drops with a large range of viscosities without difficulty. The main issue was to wash the tips after use to prevent clogging. That was with a system that could dispense 1nL droplets. The prese
