Tools for mounting protein crystals and X-ray diffraction measurements.
- The material is made of polyimide, and a significant feature is that it does not generate any X-ray background compared to off-the-shelf products. - It is possible to manufacture loops ranging from tiny loops with diameters of several tens of microns to large-diameter loops of several tens of millimeters. - The bending strength of the main body is guaranteed through product design based on structural design. - Loops of arbitrary shapes (oval, mesh, polygon, etc.) can be produced. - In addition to catalog products, we accept design and manufacturing of special specifications (custom products). - The hydrophobicity of polyimide film is lower compared to other resins, allowing for a reduction in the amount of mother liquor during crystal extraction. - It has excellent chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, inorganic salts, and organic solvents contained in crystallization reagents. - Since no fluorescence is generated when ultraviolet laser is irradiated on the crystal, alignment work of the crystal can be easily performed. - There are many usage records at synchrotron facilities both domestically and internationally. - Domestic sales agent: Wakenbi Tech Co., Ltd.

basic information
- The standard LithoLoops are broadly classified into three types: circular, elliptical, and mesh. Please choose according to the size and shape of the protein crystals for X-ray diffraction measurements. - The loop diameter of the standard circular (Round) loops ranges from 0.02 to 1.0 mm. - The standard elliptical loops (for columnar crystals) have loop sizes (horizontal axis X vertical axis) of 0.02X0.1mm, 0.02X0.2mm, 0.02X0.3mm, 0.05X0.5mm, and 0.1X0.5mm, totaling five types. - The standard mesh (Mesh) loops have sizes for "loop diameter, mesh line/space" of "0.06mm, 20/20 micron", "0.1mm, 20/20 micron", "0.2mm, 20/20 micron", "0.2mm, 20/40 micron", "0.2mm, 60/80 micron", "0.3mm, 20/20 micron", and "0.4mm, 20/40 micron". - The distance from the top end of the micropin to the bottom of the loop (neck length) is common to all products at 0.8 mm.

Company information
― Supporting health and prevention through protein science research ― Among the diseases that must be overcome in an aging society, there are many that have molecular-level degradation of proteins as a direct cause. Furthermore, in the future, preventing diseases before they occur will become more important than treating them. Protein Wave Co., Ltd. is advancing the elucidation of disease mechanisms and the development of preventive methods, preventive medicines, and functional foods based on protein science research and its related technologies.
