Title: Apparatus and method for nanoflow liquid jet and serial femtosecond x-ray protein crystallography

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1240690

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.
