Maximising solubility is a key step in applying solution-state NMR to proteins. The 'microbatch' crystallisation screening method can be adapted to screen for protein solubility. In this approach, drops of test solutions are placed under paraffin oil in 96-well screening plates. This requires very small amounts of protein, is easy to set up and is readily automatable.
