I have a crystal grown in 35%isopropanol ,5%PEG1000/8000,pH5.5 .Because isopropanol is very easy to volatilize ,so it hard to harvest ,and it's easy to damage the crystals. Can anyone give me some suggestions about how to harvest this kind of crystals,or the detail process and buffer to harvest them .Thanks a lot !!!!!
