In-situ-crystallisation plate-seal

Swissci have developed a bespoke in-situ crystallisation plate seal for in situ X-ray diffraction experiments with VMXi beamline at the Diamond Light Source UK. The seal is ultra-thin and virtually x-ray transparent to maximise the data you get out of your crystals. The background of the diffraction images is greatly reduced as the seal has no encapsulated glue in the wells.

Benefits Include

• Collect data on samples 10-20 μm in size to higher resolution and in greater numbers vs “standard” seal.
• Greater resolution from routine X-ray diffraction data collections; typically 0.2-0.4 Å improvement (sample dependent).
• Improved quality electron-density maps that are easier to interpret.
• Cleaner diffraction images - easier to see weaker diffraction.
