The Vapor Diffusion Apparatus(VDA-2) uses the "hanging drop" method often used on Earth to crystallize proteins. The method is quite simple. Proteins are mixed into a solution that makes them grow-the precipitant solution-and squeezed onto the tip of a syringe. While exposed to the air part of the liquid evaporates, the concentration rises, and crystals form. 3, record 1, English, - hanging%20drop

La plupart des expériences de cristallisation de protéines au sol sont réalisées à l'aide de la méthode de cristallisation en goutte suspendue et de grandes matrices. Cette méthode est difficile à reproduire dans une installation spatiale et, vu les restrictions sur le plan de la masse et du volume, la plupart des expériences spatiales ont donc recours à de plus petites matrices que celles normalement utilisées sur Terre. 3, record 1, French, - goutte%20suspendue
