Hi Brenda Try > 3M ammonium sulfate itself! We have tried that with great succes by cryo-cooling xtals grown at 3.2M AS straight out of their crystallization drops. You can consult the "M&M" section in Kyndt J. et al Biochemistry 2007 Jan 9;46(1):95-105 for a more detailed description of what we did.
