Anyone ever tried a glob of paratone-n for this? I remember it being good for keeping crystals happy during Xe derivatization, but that was for a relatively short time. If this is at the synchrotron, the dataset would only take a few minutes at most, so maybe it would work.

Hi all Pretend you were stuck having to do RT data collection but without access to either Mitegen MicroRT Capillaries or the more old-fashioned quartz capillaries, to pop over the loop. Anybody have suggestions of alternative ways of doing this? I do want to use loops (I never learnt how to suck up crystals in capillaries). I have access to a passably stocked biochemistry teaching lab, and could at a pinch go rifle some more advanced research labs. (No, I'm not at home ;) Thanks! phx
