Crush, pippet up and down, dilute as needed (I used 1:200) and vortex. Actually anything works... as everything - protein dependent. For the stabilizing solution I have used the same as the reservoir solution (20%MPD, 250 mM NaCl, 0.1 M HEPES pH 7.5) or 2% more MPD. Worked fine and the seeds were

Hi, in this paper http://journals.iucr.org/d/issues/1999/05/00/gr0904/gr0904.pdf they seemed to use the protein solution as a stabilising solution. Seems like a good idea as you are not diluting your concentrations too much in that case. cheers charlie > Dear CCP4bbers, > > Please comment on

Dear CCP4bbers, Please comment on the stabilizing solution for seed stocks. If the crystal is in 30% MPD and coming after 2-3 days, what should be the stabilizing solution for seeding. Thanks. James
