Paratone might work. It is thick enough to hold the crystal in place I would think. Small molecule crystallographers use to use it all the time at both room temperature and cryo temperatures.

Hi all Pretend you were stuck having to do RT data collection but without access to either Mitegen MicroRT Capillaries or the more old-fashioned quartz capillaries, to pop over the loop. Anybody have suggestions of alternative ways of doing this? I do want to use loops (I never learnt how to suck up crystals in capillaries). I have access to a passably stocked biochemistry teaching lab, and could at a pinch go rifle some more advanced research labs. (No, I'm not at home ;) Thanks! phx
