Case studies
The International Union of Crystallography has published an article by Bjelčić et Al which presents a “methodology employing silicon nitride chips arranged in a `sandwich’ configuration, enabling reliable room-temperature data collection from oxygen-sensitive samples” – there is currently no commercially available chip (known to the authors) specifically designed for the direct handling of oxygen-sensitive samples.
Silson’s silicon nitride membranes were used for the Anaerobic chip assembly for X-ray crystallography, of membrane size 2.5 × 2.5 mm and thickness 1000 nm, and frame size 5.0 × 5.0 mm, and thickness 200 µm.
Data using the constructed “sandwich” of our membranes was collected at the BioMAX beamline (Macromolecular crystallography) at the MAX IV Laboratory.
