Hello everyone,
Does anyone have suggestions or comments on the various additive
screens that are available?
I was looking at the kit from Hampton (HR2-138 Additive Screen HT) in
96-well format. It appears that it should be straight forward to
array out our current protein/mother liquor condition into a 96-plate
and then add in the additives from the deep-well block provided by
the company. The additives come 10x concentrated in a 96-well deep-
well block for dilution into the arrayed crystallization condition.
Does anyone do this routinely for the crystals they grow? It would
be interesting to know how often people find a systematic approach
using such a kit actually improves the quality/size etc. of their
crystals.
Cheers,
Brian
