- Decreasing the size of analysed crystals with FOX2D CU 25_25P
Xenocs recently teamed up with Jean-Pierre Marquette and Magali Mathieu from Sanofi-Aventis-Vitry, France to validate the efficiency of the FOX2D CU 25_25P installed on a microfocus rotating anode for the analysis of very small crystals. To do this a 200 degree dataset was collected with a 80x30 μmē protein kinase crystal (C2 space group).
The first comparison tests are very promising. Results reveal that exploitable datasets can be collected even with crystals as small as 30 μm when a FOX2D CU 25_25P optic is combined with a 70 μm rotating anode generator. Use of this Xenocs mirror represents a big step forward in the use of laboratory X-ray installations for crystals screening. Experiments can be performed on small crystals previously thought to diffract only when measured on synchrotron beamlines. For more information please see the complete application note at Aventis Vitry, France.
