Dear Jacob,

We have been working on this for an year or so. We have a paper partially in the review process. Unfortunately, the referees were not very excited about the idea. However, we are developing some automation to speed up the time consuming process of placing the drops on the loops.

This method seems to have some advantges and some issues in using the known crystallization conditions. This could also give trouble with solutions containing volatile compounds.

Kind regards,
Mathews

Dear crystallographers,

Has anyone ever tried to grow crystals directly on some kind of mountable support, such as some kind of loop or film, which could be frozen directly?
I understand that there are some microfluidic plates through which the crystals can be diffraction-screened, but what about for more conventional, known crystallization conditions? It seems that this would be a spectacular way to decrease damages/stresses caused by handling...
