  • Apparatus and method for nanoflow liquid jet and serial femtosecond x-ray protein crystallography
    Patent number: 9275844
    Abstract: Techniques for nanoflow serial femtosecond x-ray protein crystallography include providing a sample fluid by mixing a plurality of a first target of interest with a carrier fluid and injecting the sample fluid into a vacuum chamber at a rate less than about 4 microliters per minute. In some embodiments, the carrier fluid has a viscosity greater than about 3 centipoise.
    Type: Grant
