520 |a A cost-effective capillary dialysis apparatus (Toledo Capillary Box, TCB) developed for biomacromolecule crystal growth in microgravity and unit gravity environments can provide slow equilibration between the precipitant reservoir and capillary solutions, nurturing growth of neutron-diffraction-quality crystals. Under microgravity conditions, mass transfer of precipitants and biomacro-mol-ecules occurs under diffusion-controlled conditions, promoting slow growth and suppressing defect formation. The equilibration of common precipitants (polyethyl-ene glycol and salts such as ammonium sulfate) between capillary and reservoir solutions was measured for capillaries oriented horizontally or vertically with respect to the gravitational field at unit gravity. Precipitants equilibrated less rapidly in the vertical orientation when capillary solution densities were lower than those of the reservoir solutions. A plug filled with agarose gel was introduced in the TCB apparatus for salt precipitants since salts often exhibit relatively high free diffusion. Equilibration of the capillaries with reservoir solutions was significantly delayed for many of the salt precipitants tested. Analytical and semi-analytical models allow the prediction of precipitant equilibration of capillary and reservoir solutions under diffusion-controlled transport and show good agreement with experimental results
