Ooops, I forgot to mention that oils would be another way to keep the
crystal(s) on the loops. There are plenty of viscous sticky oils to choose
from. They are some of the same ones used when flash-cooling crystals.

A couple of ways of shipping RT crystals:
We would mount in capillaries, seal the ends with wax, then Duco cement or
fingernail polish. Be aware that ambient air pressure will change alot
during the shipping process, so the plugs could be compromised. I would

I would recommend just mounting them in capillaries without loops, as this
will travel better.
Put slugs of mother liquor on either side, seal with wax and then coat wax
and onto the end of capillary glass lightly with fingernail polish.

Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to ship crystals for room temperature data
collection.
I want to ship them already mounted on loops with capillaries, not in drops
like the In situ trays from Mitegen.
Any experiences on that?
Thanks
