Crystallization via tubing microfluidics permits both in situ and ex situ X-ray diffraction

A microfluidic platform was used to address the problems of obtaining diffraction-quality crystals and crystal handling during transfer to the X-ray diffractometer. Crystallization conditions of a protein of pharmaceutical interest were optimized and X-ray data were collected both in situ and ex situ.

Keywords: crystallization; microfluidics; optimization; in situ X-ray diffraction; ex situ X-ray diffraction.
