The number of crystals harvested from a Bingham fluid remains constant as additional aliquots are successively harvested from a single crystallization drop. The number of crystals in each 25 nl harvested aliquot is shown as a function of the number of successive harvests from a single crystallization well (the overall average was 3.8 ± 0.6 crystals per 25 nl harvest). The crystals in the source plate were grown in a Bingham fluid consisting of 0.15%(w/w) agarose (in addition to the normal crystallization components). The Bingham fluid crystallization protocol is described in Supplementary Fig. S2. |
