I know this isn't quite what you're asking, but it's helpful to use the COC
("UV permeable") version of plates if you're crystallizing samples that
contain detergent. It's just that the drops tend to spread very thinly if
you use the normal polystyrene PS plates. The COC is more hydrophobic.
(On the other hand we prefer PS plates for normal proteins with no
detergent.)
