The quality of glass and thickness may be a problem with the hematocrit caps but definitely worth a try in a pinch. - todd

Sorry, forgot you didn’t have any quartz capillaries. If you are in a biochem lab, do you have access to hematocrit capillaries? You might be able to use them to cover the loop in the fashion I posted just a minute ago. Again, good luck!

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
