The CrystalCap ALS is a magnetic sample mount (also known as a cap, pin or goniometer base) designed for cryocrystallography systems that accept ALS style sample mounts. The CrystalCap ALS attaches to a magnetic CrystalCap Vial and magnetic goniometer base. The tip of the CrystalCap accepts a Mounted CryoLoop™.
CrystalCap ALS (HR4-779) is supplied without a vial (HR4-904).
The CrystalCap Vial is a 1.8 ml cryo vial featuring two small vents. A ring magnet is molded into the open end of the vial so that when the cap is positioned in the vial, the ring magnet holds the cap on the vial during cryogenic storage. The HR4-904 CrystalCap Vial does not have a magnet on the bottom of the vial.
The ledge free conical shape of the CrystalCap ALS is compatible with ALS style grippers, auto mounters and sample handlers.
ALS style sample mounters accept the CrystalCap ALS.
