Storage of crystallization plates:
The experiments are being stored in the Formulatrix RockImager at 20C.
In addition, the MCRC has an incubator of 13C and a cold room of 4C in which crystallization plates set up can be performed and experiments can be stored.
Imaging:
The crystallization plates are being scanned in the Formulatrix RockImager on a user defined schedule.
The standard imaging schedulae is: 0h, 12h, 24h, 72h, 5 days, 8 days, once a week for a period of few months.Other imaging schedules are also available.
