Relevant literature
In this Letter, we explore a method of loading small droplets by using DoD dispensers to eject droplets and capturing those by the acoustic levitator. By analyzing the required condition for the trapping, we have developed a stable trapping strategy and applied the method to conduct a pilot protein crystallography experiment. In this way, we showed that the combination of the DoD dispensing method with the ALD is promising to realize an automated X-ray diffraction experiment without solid containers for crystals.
Currently, macromolecular crystallography projects often require the use of highly automated facilities for crystallization and X-ray data collection. However, crystal harvesting and processing largely depend on manual operations. Here, a series of new methods are presented based on the use of a low X-ray-background film as a crystallization support and a photoablation laser that enable the automation of major operations required for the preparation of crystals for X-ray diffraction experiments.
