Dear Andreas : I routinely use CLIMS2 which is a program written using MySQL and a client-server architecture. In terms of installation, it is not very difficult if you know something about MySQL. You have versions for Linux and Windoze, which have the same philosophy. All the versions share a client based on Java. It allow the user to store information about crystallization trials, but unfortunately still not contain all the commercially available screenings, so you have to create them by hand. Other problems about the program are the limited number of different crystallization plates (it only has 24 and 96 well). About the things that you want, the program can store information about different observations of the same drop, even diffraction or crystallization images. It has a very sexy graphic interface that allow you to score drops by results. Anyhow, you can find more information and download the program at : http://clims.med.monash.edu.au/ Good luck Francisco On Tue, 2005-10-04 at 07:14 -0600, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > *** For details on how to be removed from this list visit the *** > *** CCP4 home page http://www.ccp4.ac.uk *** > > > Hey all, > > I was wondering how people are tracking their crystal trays in labs where > no automatic monitoring is available.
