Quartz Capillaries
Applications
- X-ray data collection
- Liquid-liquid diffusion crystallization
- Gel acupuncture crystallization
Features
- Thin walled – 10 micron
- Quartz Glass 0620
Description
Crystal Clear Quartz capillaries that are extremely thin walled (approximately 10 micron wall thickness). The length of the capillary has a well defined diameter, with one end having a funnel shape and the other end closed. Quartz capillaries have a wall thickness of 0.01 mm and an overall length of 80 mm +/-5 mm. Quartz capillaries are available in a wide range of outside diameters from 0.1 mm to 5.0 mm. They are designed to mount, hold, and store small molecule and biological macromolecular crystals for x-ray data collection. Capillaries can also be used for crystal density measurements and crystal growth experiments. The capillaries can be sealed tightly against moisture and gases using wax, epoxy, or other sealing materials.
In determining what glass or quartz capillary is right for you, please refer to the “Linear Absorption Coefficient µ cm-1” table. This table indicates the amount of radiation that is absorbed by the capillary during x-ray data collection.
For 0.1 mm to 2.5 mm capillaries the open end capillary tube base size is 3.0 +/- 0.2 mm OD x 0.2 +/- 0.15 mm Wall thickness. For 3.0 and 3.5 mm capillaries the open end capillary base size is about 4.4 mm OD x 0.25 mm Wall thickness. For 4.0 and 5.0 mm capillaries the open end capillary based size is about 6.0 x 0.25 mm.
The Diameter is measured about 30 to 40 mm from the closed end (measuring instrument: LaserMicrometer LS 7500) The tolerances are as follows.

Applications
- Standard sealant for hanging, sitting, and sandwich drop vapor diffusion set ups.
Description
Dow Corning® Vacuum Grease. Also called MOLYKOTE High Vacuum Grease. A NLGI Grade 3-4, translucent white grease, used primarily in sealing vacuum and pressure systems.
Formally called Dow Corning High Vacuum Grease or Dow Corning High Vacuum Grease 976V, the name has changed, but not the formulation. The merger and then splitting of the DowDupont companies now have this grease under the DuPont MOLYKOTE line of greases.
The standard sealant for hanging, sitting, and sandwich drop vapor diffusion setups. Stiff, non-melting, non-drying silicone sealant maintains its consistency from -40° to 260°C. Chemical-resistant and non-carbonaceous. Squeeze the grease into a 10 cc syringe fitted with a 200 µl pipet tip trimmed to desired diameter and you are ready to grease.

Adjustable Crystal Mount
Applications
- Adjustable, magnetic crystal mounting with capillaries or fibers
Features
- Adjustable Z
- Magnetic mount
- Fits XYZ Goniometer Heads with Z Platform or magnetic base
- Fast, easy, and convenient crystal positioning and retrieval
Description
The Adjustable Crystal Mount is a magnetic piece (approximately 12 mm in height, 9.8 mm in diameter) designed to position a brass specimen pin and either a capillary or glass fiber onto a goniometer head for x-ray data collection.
The Adjustable Crystal Mount is engineered to fit onto the Z Platform or magnetic base within a goniometer head. The recessed bottom properly positions the crystal mount over the center of the goniometer head and prevents the mount from sliding across the goniometer head during data collection. The bottom of the crystal mount is flat and closed to prevent the brass specimen pin from protruding through the bottom of the mount. The magnetic design allows for quick, convenient, and rapid placement and retrieval of the crystal mount. Finally, the crystal mount is designed with a single allen screw which allows the Z-translation of the brass specimen pin to be adjusted (up and down) and then secured in position by tightening the screw using a goniometer head key or 0.88 mm allen key.
