Paratone might work. It is thick enough to hold the crystal in place I would think. Small molecule crystallographers use to use it all the time at both room temperature and cryo temperatures.

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!
