Framework and components of a crystallization phase diagram. The `crystallization phase diagram' is a useful operational framework for visualizing processes during crystallization. It is derived from the water-rich corner of an isothermal section of a pseudo-ternary phase body water–protein–reagent. As such, the thermodynamic information it can contain is at the same time fundamentally defined but limited in scope, and is rarely specifically known with any certainty. Kinetics and temporal development are not part of the phase diagram, but can, with caution, be visualized in the context of the thermodynamic phase diagram.
