Dear All,

Since 80% saturated Li2SO4 has not been mentioned, I will do so. It is a good cryosalt and I have often used
it even without any buffer added.
see:
Vera, L., Stura, E. A. (2013) Strategies for protein cryocrystallography. Crystal Growth & Design, e-print
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/cg301531f

The problem with phosphate precipitants is the formation of salt crystals in the cryoprotectant solution. Cryoprotecting molecules that normally work well with high ionic strength conditions do not always
work well with phosphates.

800 mM Sodium phosphate monobasic/1200 mM Potassium phosphate dibasic
is well matched by 80% saturated lithum sulphate in terms of ionic strength.

Enrico.

Try L-proline.  It works well with high ionic strength conditions:

Hello,
Does anybody know what would be a good cryoprotectant for the following condition: 800 mM Sodium phosphate monobasic/1200 mM Potassium phosphate dibasic 100 mM Sodium acetate/Aceticacid pH4.5

Thanks
Deepak
