Host: Richard Kirian

X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) promise to enable the collection of interpretable diffraction data from samples refractory to data collection at synchrotron sources. At present, however, more efficient sample delivery methods that minimize the consumption of microcrystalline material are needed to allow the application of XFEL sources to a wide range of challenging structural targets of biological importance. Here we present a microfluidic chip, in which microcrystals can be captured at fixed, addressable points in a trap array from a small volume (
