== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
We describe the design and implementation of a drop-on-fixed-target method for time-resolved serial crystallography at both synchrotron and XFEL facilities. A piezoelectric droplet dispensing pipette is employed for addition of picolitre volume aqueous droplets ( approximately 40-90 pl; approximately 40-55 microm diameter sphere), containing (co-)substrate(s) or ligand(s), onto enzyme microcrystals previously loaded into the trapezoidal wells of an etched crystalline silicon fixed-target chip containing 25 600 wells in a high-density, square grid with 125 microm centre-to-centre well spacing. These features demand exquisite accuracy and thereby constrain motion controls to enable robust time-resolved crystallographic studies. The system was tested with three enzyme systems, comprising lysozyme and two beta-lactamases, CTX-M-15 and AmpC(EC). Mitigation strategies for cross-well contamination, including the implementation of interleaved controls, are described; the overall performance of the system at synchrotron and X-ray free-electron laser facilities was evaluated. This drop-on-fixed-target method is a reliable framework for time-resolved crystallography and will improve the consistency of measurements across facilities.
