A simple pressure-assisted method for MicroED specimen preparation

Micro-crystal electron diffraction (MicroED) has shown great potential for the structure determination of crystals that are too small for X-ray diffraction but MicroED sample preparation remains challenging. Here, the authors present Preassis, a pressure-assisted method for the preparation of MicroE...

description Micro-crystal electron diffraction (MicroED) has shown great potential for the structure determination of crystals that are too small for X-ray diffraction but MicroED sample preparation remains challenging. Here, the authors present Preassis, a pressure-assisted method for the preparation of MicroED specimens and demonstrate that Preassis can be applied to a wide range of protein crystal suspensions with low and high viscosities, as well as those with low crystal concentrations.
