Hi Parveen, Not a direct answer to your question but we could possibly help by X-raying the crystals in-situ whilst protected and undisturbed in the multi-well plate. This should definitively show whether they are protein or detergent crystals.
Depending on where you are located, we may have a friendly user or a demo PX Scanner near you that can assist. If we can help, please let me know.

The protein is a membrane protein and contains 0.05% DDM. Has anybody seen DDM crysals and if yes, how do they look like? thanks in advance Parveen Goyal
