US 2025/0032955 A1 · HYPERGRAVITY CRYSTALLIZATION PAYLOAD SYSTEM

Abstract

Payload systems for processing chemical substances under various gravity levels, such as hypergravity and/or microgravity. The payload systems may include a hypergravity thermal payload system configured to enable melt or cooling of a sample under hypergravity. Alternatively, or in addition, the payload systems may include a gravity-independent thermal payload system for enabling melt or cooling of a sample under various gravity levels, such as microgravity. Alternatively, or in addition, the payload systems may include a hypergravity crystallization payload system configured to enable crystallization of a chemical substance under hypergravity. Alternatively, or in addition, the payload systems may include a gravity-independent crystallization system configured to enable crystallization of a chemical substance in various gravity levels, such as microgravity.

Dependent claims

A crystallization payload system for enabling crystallization of a chemical substance under hypergravity, comprising:

a solution well configured to hold a liquid solution containing the chemical substance;
an anti-solvent well configured to hold a liquid anti-solvent;
a growth chamber;
and
a mixing chip comprising:
a first inlet configured to receive the liquid solution from the solution well;
a second inlet configured to receive the liquid anti-solvent from the anti-solvent well;
an outlet;
and
a channel having a first end and a second end,
wherein the first end of the channel is connected to both the first inlet and the second inlet, and the second end of the channel is connected to the outlet, and
wherein the liquid solution and the liquid anti-solvent received from the first and second inlets pass through the channel to exit at the outlet and enter the growth chamber.
