$Protein/Small Molecular Crystal mounting (manipulating) tool Crystal Catcher: New idea product for X-ray crystallography, easy handling at mounting crystal, effectively picks up protein crystal. Better X-ray diffraction data quality than loop method$

We offer new idea product for X-ray crystallography, protein crystal mounting tool,
easy handling, and effectively picks out protein crystal.

This tool picks up protein crystal by adhesive way, because it can illuminate X-ray to only crystal,
it will help getting better quality in X-ray diffraction data (XRD).

We have glass tip "CT-300", "CT-400" and corresponding main body "CC-900 (multi)" as product line-up for versatility.

It is the new mounting method which takes place of traditional nylon loop, the loop-based method.
		Easy and picks up crystal safely, and well at keeping it.
		Better quality data.
		Economic by easy tip exchanging. Can use 100 times with 1 tip!

Features of product

Easy handling, can pick up crystal really well, reduces working hours very much.
