Wizard Cubic LCP Screens
The tools in the Wizard Cubic LCP (lipidic cubic phase) Kit enable researchers to prepare LCP-type crystallizations by hand. Ideal for low-protein experiments: effective protein volume for a single crystallization experiment is about 80 nanoliters.
Product Information
The Wizard: Cubic LCP Kit contains all tools, formulations, and lipid to prepare micro-crystallization experiments according to the LCP micro method. To use this kit, the biological macromolecule sample, typically a membrane protein, is first incorporated into a lipidic material (LCP) and then this resulting LCP material can be dispensed in portions of approximately 200 nanoliters. The LCP forms spontaneously and acts as a matrix supporting the crystallization of soluble and membrane proteins.
The Wizard Cubic LCP Screen random sparse matrix is designed for the crystallization of biological macromolecules that are embedded within a lipidic cubic phase (LCP) host matrix. Every formulation in this 96-well plate is compatible with monoolein-based lipidic cubic phases.
96 formulations, 1.7 mL volumes in a 96 well block plate.
Monoolein-9: Matrix lipid for crystallization within Lipidic Cubic Phases. This lipid forms a Lipidic Cubic Phase (LCP) material spontaneously when mixed with water (or your protein solution) at a 60 (monoolein) : 40 (aqueous) volume ratio.
