In 1953, S.L. Miller created conditions similar to those suggested by Oparin and Haldane in a laboratory where he created electric discharge in a closed flask containing:
1. CH4, H2, NH3 and water vapour at 800°C
2. CH4, H2, HCN and hydrogen sulphide at 400°C
3. CO2, H2, NH3 and water vapour at 800°C
4. CO2, H2, HCN and hydrogen sulphide at 400°C
