A liquid handling system for setting up crystallization experiments by the hanging‐drop technique has been developed. The system, organized about a pipetting station and multiport rotary valve under computer control, increases the speed at which experiments can be set up and facilitates systematic studies of protein crystallization. The system is described and results of crystallization trials on 14 proteins are reported.
