The In Situ‐1™ plate enables crystallography researchers to easily grow, transport and screen crystals of their targets. The advanced features of the thin-film plate, many of which have never before been seen in a crystallization plate, allow for samples to be easily grown with more reproducible conditions, safely shipped to a location for data collection, and sub-sequentially studied via X-ray diffraction in situ. Researchers can then learn about the inherent quality of their crystal samples without having to manipulate, or manually retrieve them, which can often cause undesired changes or damage to the samples

1. Thin COC Film A thin COC film gives you excellent transparency for better diffraction data when using either X–ray or UV light. Compare the following to see the difference:

2. Micro–channels Allow vapor evaporation between reservoir and protein wells Strongly inhibits fluid transfer between protein and reservoir wells Plates can be rotated to any orientation without liquid transfer out of the reservoir

3. Micro–ledges The reservoir wells contain special ledges that: Force fluid into the reservoir, ensuring uniform well–filling for larger reservoir volumes in a low profile plate Keep fluid away from your top sealing film More fluid in a shorter reservoir Inhibits transfer out of the reservoir well during rough handling and tipping

Ship–able

The dual–action of the micro–channels and micro–ledges makes In Situ–1 plates capable of being shipped long distance with no cross–contamination of fluid from the reservoirs to the protein growth areas.

Populated plates shipped via Fedex from Ithaca, New York to Adelaide, Australia showed no cross–contamination of fluid from the reservoirs to the protein growth areas

Versatility

The inhibition of cross–contamination between the reservoirs allows In Situ–1 plates to be used with the sitting drop or hanging drop method of protein crystallization.
