Reduce evaporation during filling
Even with a robot, chances are that your first drops are evaporating measurably before your last drop is set and your plate is sealed. DropSaver™ lids protect your protein drops from ambient air motion that leads to rapid evaporation during the plate loading process

Aid in consistent drop placement
Consistent and easy drop setting, especially valuable to when hand displacers are used

as high as 90% reduction in evaporation rates when using DropSaver™ Lids^[1]

Increase crystal size and quality
Using lids proved to produce larger and better diffracting crystal for some protiens.[1]

Can I just 3D print my own lids?

Yes you can. In fact some prototype and early stage DropSaver™ Lids were made using 3D printing techniques. However these provide to be inferior in regards to uniformity, alignment; and most critically, vapor transmission and evaporation rates. For this reason MiTeGen provides DropSaver™ Lids that are micro-machined in low-permeability molded polystyrene.
