A while ago there was a thread about using oils for cryocrystallography:
<http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/ccp4bb/2001/msg00083.html>

Has anyone used oil to stabilize otherwise labile crystals for a
conventional room temperature mount? What oils did you use and what
technique did you use to get the crystal in the capillary? Also, has anyone
used unconventional oils (oils people haven't thought of yet) for
macromolecular cryocrystallography?
