Grid Screen™ MPD is a preformulated reagent kit designed to provide a rapid screening method for the crystallization of biological macromolecules.
The screen is simple and practical for finding initial crystallization conditions as well as determining the solubility of a macromolecule in (+/-)-2-Methyl-2,4-pentanediol (MPD) between pH 4.0 and 9.0.
Grid Screen MPD evaluates (+/-)-2-Methyl-2,4-pentanediol (MPD) at four concentrations (10, 20, 40, 65% v/v) versus six pH levels (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).
Grid Screen MPD consists of 24 unique reagents, each supplied as 10 milliliter in sterile, screw cap tubes. Ready-to-use reagents are sterile filtered and formulated with ultra-pure Type 1 water, using the highest purity polyol and buffers. Individual reagents are available through the Hampton Research Custom Shop.
