Hi, I had the same problem with my crystals because they grew as thin plates. My precipitant was PEG8000, and the crystals grew thicker with addition of glycerol or ethylene glycol.

I would appreciate suggestions to have diffraction quality xtals (thick). I am using proline, glycine, glucose, sucrose as an additive.Thanx in advance. shivesh
