Dear zq deng, The standard method, I dare say, in such a case is micro seeding: reduce the precipitant to a concentration so that you just do not get crystals any more, wait until the drop equilibrates (about one day in the case your precipitant is a salt, up to 5-7 days for high MW PEGs), then

Dear Zq Deng, I've had success with the dilution method as described by Dunlop and Hazes: http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?en5016 For me it worked for a couple of projects, and gives you a bit more to permutate than just varying the protein:mother liquor ratios, as Thomas
