The Advanced Protein Crystallisation Facility(APCF) is a satellite-borne facility developed by the European Spage Agency(ESA). The APCF first flew in space in 1993, and, since then, has been the primary facility for microgravity protein crystallisation activities in Europe. The Protein Crystallisation Diagnostics Facility(PCDF) is the follow-on instrument to APCF and, from 2004, should enable scientists to quantitatively investigate gravity-dependent effects on crystal growth.
