Subject: [ccp4bb] emergency substitute for RT loop cover?

Hi all

Pretend you were stuck having to do RT data collection but without
access to either Mitegen MicroRT Capillaries or the more old-fashioned
quartz capillaries, to pop over the loop.

Anybody have suggestions of alternative ways of doing this?  I do want
to use loops (I never learnt how to suck up crystals in capillaries).

I have access to a passably stocked biochemistry teaching lab, and could
at a pinch go rifle some more advanced research labs.  (No, I'm not at
home ;)

Thanks!
