Actually, you should try /increasing/ the protein concentration - a lot. But be prepared to drop the precipitant concentration to almost nothing (1 or 2% isn't "low").

To understand why, look at the phase diagram and what we assume about vapour diffusion. (Which I'm assuming is what you're doing.)

Dear Patrick,

You may reduce the protein concentation, as well.
Another option could be the *streak seeding* by exploiting the drop of your initial condition.

Good luck,

V.T.

        hello everyone!
        I get a condition (10% w/v PEG 6000, 100mm HEPES PH7.0) in
        which my protein grow small  needle like crystals, how can i
        optimize it to get bigger crystals?  the attach is the
        crystals  figure.
        thanks in advance
        sincerely
