Dear All,
We have a Rigaku XtalLab with a MM003 generator, a 4 axis goniometer and an Oxford 700 cryostream. I have been running into the problem that if I make full use of the 4 axis goniometer in the collection strategy I run into geometries where the angles between the pin/Xtal and the Oxford cryo head nozzle are smaller than 90 0 and in these positions I start collecting a lot of ice to a point were it get's blown off by the cold stream and I have lost Xtals. I was wondering if others have experienced the same and if there is a good way to avoid it. At the moment I feel like I simply have to avoid these ranges which is a shame since it restricts the data collection strategy. I appreciate any advice - Annette
