In a paper at Acta Cryst F, Sarah E. J. Bowman et al. provide guidance on shipping biomacromolecular samples for structural biology studies. It emphasizes the importance of ensuring the safe and reliable transport of highly concentrated and pure products to large facilities equipped for experiments such as crystallization trials, synchrotron, and cryoEM measurements. The paper discusses general considerations for shipping samples, including the need for standardized operations, adherence to shipping regulations, and use of secondary containment. It also provides detailed instructions on packaging and labeling, emphasizing the importance of proper labeling, insulated shipping boxes, and tracking information.

The CCP4 Northern Structural Biology Meeting will be held from November 6th to 7th in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. It provides an opportunity for early career researchers and students to present their work, share ideas, and network with others in the structural biology field. We are sponsoring this event.

The Annual Buffalo-Hamilton-Toronto (BHT) Crystallography-CryoEM Symposium is November 1st in Hamilton, Ontario. It provides attendees with the opportunity to discuss and learn about new and innovative techniques in X-ray crystallography and cryoEM. We are sponsoring this event.
