Hi Meisam, Boxes sold here keep temperature very stable (+/- 1 deg) for several days: http://greenboxsystems.com/. I've used them successfully to transport LCP samples, keeping them between 18 and 20 deg C, monitoring temperature with an EL-USB temperature logger (http://www.lascarelectronics.com/temperaturedatalogger.php?datalogger=105). This doesn't quite address the issue of the plates getting jolted around but at least you don't have to worry about temperature fluctuations :)

Dear CCP4ers I need to transfer some crystals mainly in sitting drops to the site of data collection without freezing them. I do not know what is the best solution to secure the boxes in their place to minimize the disturbance. I am using the 24 well VDX plates with 10-80 microliter sitting drops. I have one or two hanging drop boxes as well with 10 microliter size drops. If you have any experience about this matter, I greatly appreciate, if you share it with me. Thanks Meisam Nosrati
