Re: [ccp4bb] Shipping crystals for RT data collection

Ooops, I forgot to mention that oils would be another way to keep the crystal(s) on the loops. There are plenty of viscous sticky oils to choose from. They are some of the same ones used when flash-cooling crystals. -j On Fri, Dec 23, 2016 at 12:17 PM, Jim Pflugrath

Re: [ccp4bb] Shipping crystals for RT data collection

I would recommend just mounting them in capillaries without loops, as this will travel better. Put slugs of mother liquor on either side, seal with wax and then coat wax and onto the end of capillary glass lightly with fingernail polish. We have had terrible luck with FedEx delivering damaged

[ccp4bb] Shipping crystals for RT data collection

Hi all, I'm looking for a way to ship crystals for room temperature data collection. I want to ship them already mounted on loops with capillaries, not in drops like the In situ trays from Mitegen. Any experiences on that? Thanks -- Ricardo Padua HHMI Postdoctoral fellow Kern Lab Brandeis
