Millisecond cryo-trapping by the spitrobot crystal plunger simplifies time-resolved crystallography

Abstract We introduce the spitrobot, a protein crystal plunger, enabling reaction quenching via cryo-trapping with a time-resolution in the millisecond range. Protein crystals are mounted on canonical micromeshes on an electropneumatic piston, where the crystals are kept in a humidity and temperatur...
