A new microfluidic sample-preparation system is presented for the structural investigation of proteins using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) at synchrotrons. The system includes hardware and software features for precise fluidic control, sample mixing by diffusion, automated X-ray exposure control, UV absorbance measurements and automated data analysis. As little as 15 µl of sample is required to perform a complete analysis cycle, including sample mixing, SAXS measurement, continuous UV absorbance measurements, and cleaning of the channels and X-ray cell with buffer. The complete analysis cycle can be performed in less than 3 min. Bovine serum albumin was used as a model protein to characterize the mixing efficiency and sample consumption of the system. The N2 fragment of an adaptor protein (p120-RasGAP) was used to demonstrate how the device can be used to survey the structural space of a protein by screening a wide set of conditions using high-throughput techniques.

Abstract Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) is an ideal characterization tool to explore nanoscale systems. In order to investigate nanostructural changes of materials under realistic sample environments, it is essential to equip SAXS with diverse in situ capabilities based on the corresponding requirements. In this paper, we highlight the representative experimental setups and corresponding applications of five widely used in situ capabilities: temperature, pressure, stretching, flow-through, and electric field. Additionally, we also briefly introduce other four in situ techniques including humidity, high-throughput, rheology, and magnetic field.
