Hi Galen, Is it possibly the age of the original material, rather than the batch or brand? PEG does oxidise over time.

Dear all, I'm wondering if anyone could spare 50-100 g of Fluka branded PEG 3000 (see attached image)? We have some crystals that diffract better when grown using Fluka PEG compared to other brands. Unfortunately, we've exhausted our supply of the Fluka PEG, and it's no longer commercially available (the same product code is available from Sigma - we've tested it, along with several other brands - but they don't seem to have the same magic as the Fluka PEG). We'll happily purchase a new bottle of Sigma-branded PEG 3000 to replace any sent our way. Many thanks, Galen ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jiscmail.ac.uk%2Fcgi-bin%2FWA-JISC.exe%3FSUBED1%3DCCP4BB%26A%3D1&data=04%7C01%7C%7Cf38952d06e4a4be94b7b08d8ed557387%7C4eed7807ebad415aa7a99170947f4eae%7C0%7C1%7C637520298573799761%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=jGHZ8nmg8E9gts4X1KjhQPbDBH8axxuHz9GDoaeopk4%3D&reserved=0> The Francis Crick Institute Limited is a registered charity in England and Wales no. 1140062 and a company registered in England and Wales no. 06885462, with its registered office at 1 Midland Road London NW1 1AT ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/WA-JISC.exe?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1 This message was issued to members of www.jiscmail.ac.uk/CCP4BB, a mailing list hosted by www.jiscmail.ac.uk, terms & conditions are available at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/policyandsecurity/
