: Re: [ccp4bb] Shipping samples for neutron diffraction Hi Gloria, While we're confessing to minor economies with the truth, I never travelled to the Photon Factory in Japan with crystals of pertussis toxin: they were crystals of Bordetella pertussis ADP-ribosyltransferase. Randy On 20 Feb

Hi Back in the days when I worked with extremely oxygen and moisture sensitive organometallics (some were pyrophoric given a sniff of oxygen...) I sealed the crystals in capillaries under an argon atmosphere. The huge advantage of this over shipping cryocooled crystals is that they can be packa

Dear Stephen I guess the first thing to understand is whether you have a RT or cryo NMX planned. In my personal experience the transition from RT to cryo NMX is not necessarily straightforward. If you (and the beam line scientist) are sure that cryocooled xtals will give you an experiment then

Dear Stephen, A particularly well informed advisor would be your likely collaborator, your neutron facility scientist. Anyway please do read section 5 of https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/iucr/doi/10.1107/S0907444905001368 Best wishes, John Emeritus Professor John R Helliwell DSc > On 19 Feb 2

[ccp4bb] Shipping samples for neutron diffraction

2020-02-19 Thread stephen.c...@rc-harwell.ac.uk
Dear CCP4 community, I have an impending trip to a neutron source and was wondering how people tend to ship their samples prior to beam time? Is sending something frozen best or is sealed in a capillary more sensible or is there another better way? One caveat is that ideally my sample should
