That is a heavy PEG, and they arent such good cryo-agents. If you get ice-rings when you test your buffer aone, try adding 15% of a much lighter PEG (400 or 600). Happy cryo-cooling Elspeth Roger Rowlett wrote: With that much PEG in your mother liquor, I don't think you will need any cryosolve

With that much PEG in your mother liquor, I don't think you will need any cryosolvent. It will likely vitrify adequately in LN2 directly from this solution. In solutions that do not contain high concentrations of PEG or polyols, 25-30% glucose is nearly always sufficient, and is compatible with
