A random sparse matrix for the crystallization of biological macromolecules, with or without lipidic matrices such as the lipidic cubic phase. The Cubic™ Screen is a set of 96 formulations compatible with monoolein-based lipidic cubic phases. 1.0 ml each prepared with ultra-pure chemicals and water (18.2 Megohm-cm), followed by sterile 0.22 micron filtration into a sterile 96 deep well matrix block plate that is sealed with a sterile reusable matte cover.

The complete Cubic™ LCP Kit contains all tools, formulations, and lipid to prepare micro-crystallization experiments according to the LCP micro method. Biological macromolecules are first incorporated into a lipidic material (LCP), and in a second step the LCP is dispensed in portions of approximately 200 nanoliters. The LCP forms spontaneously and acts as a matrix supporting the crystallization of soluble and membrane proteins.

Each Cubic™ LCP Kit contains:

• Two 250 µl Hamilton syringes with a mixer union for the preparation of the LCP
• Ratchet dispenser with 10µl syringe and short needle to dispense the LCP
• One 10µl microsyringe pipette
• 100 mg monolein
• Ten microtrays
• Cubic™ Screen formulation matrix block
• Oil and tape
• Instructions and technical sheets
