The cover slips are supported by a recessed ledge. An opening allows access to the reservoir for convenient setup, filling, etc. after the cover slip is in place. Chamber sealing is accomplished with acrylic tape. Grow larger crystals Environmentally friendly, all Q Plates are re-usable. The design is more compact to improve microscopic examination, storage and handling.
Optional cores provide greater number of applications.
Lysozyme and other protein crystals with dimensions in excess of 1.25 cm have been grown utilizing bulk applications. Offered in sets of two cells and packaged in a beautiful American Cherry hardwood case. This screen makes it easy to determine initial crystallization conditions and to establish the solubility of a macromolecule in a varying range of pH and precipitants. These trial crystallization conditions have been selected from previously published works. Each kit comprises 50 sterile filtered reagents which provide a sparse matrix of trial conditions, the variables being pH, buffer, salt, and precipitant.
