Abstract

The present invention pertains to a method for obtaining and analyzing solids, preferably crystals, which method comprises the following steps: providing a well plate, the well plate comprising a plurality of wells, each of the wells having a depth and an open upper end and each of the wells being provided with a filter having pores, which filter is arranged at a distance below the open upper end, each of the wells having an upper inner wall part above the filter that has a fluid contact surface and each filter having a top filter surface, at least both the fluid contact surface of the well and the top filter surface being of a material that is at least substantially inert for organic and/or aqueous solvents and/or mixtures of organic and aqueous solvents, providing one or more substances and one or more solvents in at least one of the wells of the well plate, applying conditions to dissolve the one or more substances in the one or more solvents; applying conditions for crystallizing at least a part of the substance so that solids are formed in the at least one well, substantially removing the part of the substance that remains in solution, thereby leaving the solids, preferably crystals, that were formed from the substance in the well of the well plate in which they were formed, performing further investigation of the solids, preferably crystals in the well of the well plate where they were formed.
