Subject: [ccp4bb] microbatch vs hanging
drop
Hi,
I have a question about the method for crystallization. With traditional
hanging drop(24 wells), one slide can also hold for multiple drops but it
requires the buffer quite a lot, > 600uL? Microbatch can save buffers,only
100uL is required, and also can hold up to three samples in the sitting
well. Other than saving the buffer, what's the advantage of microbatch? Which
method will be easier to get crystals or no big difference? Thanks for
sharing.
