Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the use of 3D-printed centerpieces for analytical ultracentrifugation, highlighting their ability to hold samples while enabling accurate macromolecular migration under high centrifugal forces.
- Researchers demonstrate that these 3D-printed centerpieces are durable, reusable, and can produce data comparable to traditional epoxy resin centerpieces, making them a cost-effective alternative.
- The paper introduces innovative centerpiece designs that improve experimental efficiency, such as designs that reduce sample volume, minimize optical aberrations, and increase sample capacity, all while maintaining high-quality results.
Using sound pulses to solve the crystal-harvesting bottleneck.
Acta Crystallogr D Struct Biol

Crystal harvesting has proven to be difficult to automate and remains the rate-limiting step for many structure-determination and high-throughput screening projects. This has resulted in crystals being prepared more rapidly than they can be harvested for X-ray data collection. Fourth-generation synchrotrons will support extraordinarily rapid rates of data acquisition, putting further pressure on the crystal-harvesting bottleneck.
