MiTeGen LLC has launched a crystallization microplate made ofTopas®cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) from Topas Advanced Polymers. MiTeGen’s newIn-Situ-1™crystallization plate uses TopasCOC for its excellent moisture vapor resistance and X-ray transparency.
MiTeGen’sIn-Situ-1crystallization plate (an SBS standard, 96-well microplate) enables X-ray crystallography researchers, who study the atomic-level structures of biological samples, to easily grow and screen crystals of their targets. The advanced features of the low-profile plates, many of which have never before been seen in a crystallization plate, allow for samples to be easily grown with more reproducible conditions and sub-sequentially studied via X-ray diffractionin situ.This means that researchers can now learn about the inherent quality of their crystal samples without having tomanipulate or manually retrieve them, which can often cause undesired changes or damage to the samples.
