Crystallography Sample Supports - The next-generation crystal mounting system that changes how crystals can be prepared for X-ray diffraction data collection.
The crystallography sample support allow you to:
- Mount single crystals or thousands for micro-crystals
- Perform either cryogenic or room temperature diffraction
- Reduces overall cost and increases opportunities for data collection
- And more
Cryogenic eCryoTag RFID Sample Tracking System - The next generation of tracking samples in cryo-EM and crystallography.
The cryogenic eCryoTag RFID sample tracking system allow you to:
- Track crystallography and cryo-EM pucks and cryo-EM grid boxes at cryogenic temperatures (LN2)
- Enable facilities and users to easily keep track of their samples
- Add confidence users are collecting data on the right samples
- And more
Watershed - Is a humidity controlled workstation for protein crystallography. It prevents drop dehydration during crystals harvesting helping you obtain the best possible diffraction.
Watershed allows you to:
- Simplify your crystal mounting allowing you to get the best possible diffraction
- Increase drop working times and prevent dried out drops
- Reduce protein precipitation and degradation
- And more
SSRL Crystallization Plate Kit - Allows you to avoid manual manipulation of samples during crystal screening and diffraction data collection.
How can the SSRL Crystallization Plate Kit be used:
- For in-situ crystallization of proteins on substrates affixed to magnetic sample pin bases
- The plate can also be used to hold crystals in a controlled humidity environment for subsequent robotic sample mounting at a synchrotron beamline
- Each plate can hold 10 sample pin bases
SSRL Crystallography Grids - Are designed to enabled high-throughput data collection from multiple crystals on a single grid.
Available in two grid types::
- Circular 800 micron diameter holes with 200 micron frame thickness, 6 micron thin film backing, premounted via epoxied into SAM compatible base
- Square windows 1.7 x 1.9 mm with 200 micron frame thickness, 6 micron thin film backing, premounted via epoxied into SAM compatible base
MicroRT Room Temperature Starter Kits - The answer for room temperature diffraction screening and data collection. Go from a crystal in a drop to a crystal in the X-ray beam at room temperature quickly & easily. Collect room & low temperature data from the same crystal to evaluate your crystal and cryopreservation protocol.
A few additional benefits include:
- Allows rapid screening of crystals at room temperature, to help maximize the efficiency of your crystallography pipeline
- Easy sample mounting with little risk of crystal loss or damage
- Easy collection of both room and low-temperature data from the same sample
- And more
Crystallography Loops - Simplify crystal harvesting, and obtain the best possible data from your crystals, using the most advanced lithographic cryo-loops available. Composed of X-ray transparent material, crystals can be mounted directly on the loops, reducing excess fluid, preventing damage, and making getting the crystals out of the drop easier.
