Similar to the Mounted CryoLoop™ in design and function, the Adjustable Mounted CryoLoop allows one to manipulate and orient the CryoLoop to multiple, unique positions previously unattainable with typical cryo setups. The Adjustable Mounted CryoLoop is a 20 micron diameter synthetic loop mounted inside a malleable stainless steel sleeve, which in turn, is mounted inside the EasySnap MicroTube™.
Using forceps or a probe one can manipulate the angle and orientation of the CryoLoop by bending and adjusting the angle of the malleable stainless steel insert which holds the CryoLoop. The Adjustable Mounted CryoLoop may be positioned several times. Note: Repeated manipulation will fatigue the sleeve which can lead to failure of the sleeve. The Adjustable Mounted CryoLoop is designed to work with the CrystalCap System components.
The MicroTube is 24 mm in length and is specially engineered with EasySnap™ notches at the 10, 12, 14, 18, and 21 mm measures. To obtain the desired length of MicroTube, simply snap the MicroTube at the desired length and stake it to the CrystalCap™ Magnetic or CrystalCap™ Copper Magnetic. These nylon loops show minimal diffraction, are thin for fast freezing, strong, and aerodynamic.
Most data collection geometries prefer or require a 22 mm length between the base of the cap and the beam. For a 22 mm overall length using the CrystalCap, CrystalCap ALS, CrystalCap ALS HT and CrystalCap SPINE HT, snap the MicroTube at the second notch from the bottom, creating an 18 mm MicroTube lenghth and secure to the CrystalCap using epoxy or similar adhesive. For a 22 mm over length using the CrystalCap Copper, CrystalCap Copper HT, CrystalCap ALS Copper HT snap the MicroTube at the fifth notch from the bottom (notch closest to the CryoLoop) and secure to the CrystalCap using epoxy or similar adhesive.
在设计和功能上与 Mounted CryoLoop™ 类似，可调节的 Mounted CryoLoop 允许人们操纵 CryoLoop 并将其定位到多个独特的位置，这些位置以前是典型的低温设置无法达到的。可调节安装的 CryoLoop 是一个直径 20 微米的合成环，安装在可延展的不锈钢套管内，而不锈钢套管又安装在 EasySnap MicroTube™ 内。
使用镊子或探针可以通过弯曲和调整固定 CryoLoop 的可延展不锈钢插件的角度来控制 CryoLoop 的角度和方向。可调节安装的 CryoLoop 可以多次定位。注意：重复操作会使套筒疲劳，从而导致套筒失效。可调节安装的 CryoLoop 设计用于与 CrystalCap 系统组件一起使用。
MicroTube 的长度为 24 毫米，专门设计了 10、12、14、18 和 21 毫米尺寸的 EasySnap™ 凹槽。要获得所需长度的 MicroTube，只需将 MicroTube 卡入所需长度并将其固定在 CrystalCap™ Magnetic 或 CrystalCap™ Copper Magnetic 上。这些尼龙环显示出最小的衍射，很薄，可以快速冷冻，坚固且符合空气动力学。
大多数数据收集几何结构更喜欢或要求帽底和梁之间有 22 毫米的长度。对于使用 CrystalCap、CrystalCap ALS、CrystalCap ALS HT 和 CrystalCap SPINE HT 的 22 mm 总长度，将 MicroTube 从底部的第二个凹口处卡入，形成 18 mm 的 MicroTube 长度并使用环氧树脂或类似粘合剂固定到 CrystalCap。对于 22 mm 以上的长度，使用 CrystalCap Copper、CrystalCap Copper HT、CrystalCap ALS Copper HT 将 MicroTube 卡在从底部算起的第五个槽口（最靠近 CryoLoop 的槽口），并使用环氧树脂或类似粘合剂固定到 CrystalCap。
