Abstract
The invention provides a device for immobilizing and shipping crystals and for data collection via serial crystallography, the device having a first planar substrate defining a first transversely extending aperture, wherein the first substrate has a first laterally facing surface; a second planar substrate defining a second transversely extending aperture coaxial with the first aperture, wherein the second substrate has a second laterally facing surface; a third planar substrate and a fourth planar substrate positioned between the first and second substrates such that the first planar substrate, the second planar substrate, the third planar substrate and the fourth planar substrate are parallel; and a means for reversibly applying axial pressure to the first and second laterally facing surfaces so as to compress the third and fourth substrates together.
