Dear Rebecca, I've mounted many crystals from microbatch and sitting drop plates and haven't found it diffucult to mount xtals from either ! (well, of course a bit difficult when i first started mounting xtals !!) typically I try to remove the oil by dragging the xtals gently in the cryoprotectant drop until i see the oil layer is removed (at much as i can judge visually !) it's a tricky job removing the oil completely depending on the cryo (eg. paratone !!!!) so great attention is needed in doing this part ! and I tranfer the xtals to a fesh drop of cryo before mounting. -Sid. -- Sudharsan Sridharan Dept. of Biochemistry Cambridge University 80 Tennis Court Road Cambridge CB2 1GA UK.
