Astronauts used this fabric box to store and carry small containers used in protein crystal growth experiments on the Space Shuttle. It contained sample cells, syringes, bottles, and other small items needed for the experiments or examination of samples under a microscope in the onboard glovebox.
Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, actively involved in experiments for Shuttle flights, gave this item and a large set of protein crystal growth equipment to the Museum in 2012.
