Hi All,
I have just noticed a very strange thing and need some help in
understanding it. I recently found two crystals in a condition from a
screen (0.05M Calcium chloride dihydrate, 0.1M M Bis-Tris pH6.5 and
30% PEG MME 550). The small crystals appeared after a month and
started to grow over the next 5 days after I first saw them (see
pictures attached). I just check the same drop today and now the
crystals are gone. So I was wondering what happened and if anyone
experienced this before. Any insight or advice on what to do would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Christine
Small 5 days later
Hi Christine,
I had similar experience. In my case, another crystal showed again with
different size a few days later. Sometimes, it seems like it is a common
event to others as well as I heard although my case only takes about a
week to be crystallized. I'd rather wait or just set up again or in a
slightly different way.
Wish you well.
