One way to do that is lower the concentration of AS form 0.2 to 0 or as low as you can . This is depended on the xtal's stability . You can transfer them directly or step by step. Otherwise you can try to add water around the drop to increase the humility or cover the drop by oil. Good luck! leo HanJie_HCT Tai wrote: > Hi, > > I have a protein-DNA complex grown in 30 -40% MPD/0.2M Ammonium > sulfate/5% PEG 400/ 0.1M Tris (8.5). > > I believe that 30%MPD above does not require any cryoprotectant but i > hv a problem to loop a crystal up.
