Shipment and storage of crystal-containing chips. (A) Cassette (gray) for storage and transportation of the assembled sandwiched chips (green). (B) Once the chips are clipped onto the holder, the entity is loaded into a plastic tube containing a moist cotton pad/paper soaked with crystallization solution to prevent the samples from drying out. A 3D-printed holder for the 96-well sandwiched chips compatible with a 15 mL plastic tube is shown. (C) Crystals of lysozyme grown on a chip composed of a 3.6 µm Mylar membrane were captured before (left) and after (right) shipment of the sandwiched chips from the home laboratory (Gothenburg, Sweden) to the ID29 beamline of ESRF (Grenoble, France) with a total duration of ∼7 days.
