Hi Nikos,
When I was attending the "RapidData 2000 Course" at Brookhaven, a guy
from Thailand has attended. He had crystals of a difficult protein
whose cry was not tested. He probably had 10-12 crystals. He brought
his crystals unfrozen. Those crystals were loaded with Xenon gas at
Brookhaven and the structure was solved in one afternoon!!
He packed his crystals in a small vial filled with the mother liquor.
They survived several plane takeoffs and landings, different
temperature variations.
I think you can also put your crystals in an old style "ink-pens"
filled with your mother liquor. Most of this pens are made with thick
plastic or wood (at least where there in India) which can keep its
contents at constant temperature.
Good luck!
Anthony

Dear ccp4bb members,
I am planning a trip for experiments and I would strongly prefer my
crystals to travel with me in the original hanging drop trays where
they crystallized. Does anybody has any recent experience (after 6
November) with the new airplane regulations? Or should I use the
train?
Thank you in advance
Nikos
