These products are available with 30% discount until our inventory is depleted. Please find the reduced prices below.
Please note:
We will no longer be keeping an inventory of the previously available lengths (L11, L19 and L25). These lengths will still be available upon request but may have significant lead times, once our inventory is depleted.
Only SPINE length (L18SP) will be stocked in the future.

MicroLoops™ have circular sample apertures which are available in eight sizes, i.e. 20, 35, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200 and 300 μm.
Choose between two film thicknesses: MiTeGen's standard 10 μm for the lowest background scatter, and HT thickness 18 μm for improved durability and rigidity in high-throughput applications.
Compared with MicroMounts™, MicroLoops™ have a narrower neck connecting the crystal aperture to the base. They also do not have a wicking aperture. These features allow them to enter small protein drops with less disturbance to the drop. As with MicroMounts™, drop disturbances are also reduced by attaching the loops to solid rather than hollow nonmagnetic stainless steel rods. MicroLoops™ are slightly thicker than MicroMounts™ to increase their rigidity in the cryostream.
Compared with conventional nylon loop mounts and with competing lithographically fabricated mylar loop mounts, MicroLoops™ provide:
- Much lower background X-ray scatter (roughly 1/3 that of mylar mounts).
- Much more accurate and reproducible crystal positioning in the X-ray beam.
- A more convenient and efficient scoop-like action in retrieving crystals that minimizes the chance of crystal loss or damage.
- Excellent rigidity in the cryostream and during crystal retrieval.
Nonsaleable to USA and Japan! Please contact MiTeGen for distributor information.
