SCSB Crystalography Facilities

The SCSB X-ray Crystallography resources currently consists of two x-ray area detector systems, each with an ultra-fine-focus high-brilliancy x-ray generator and focusing multilayer optics. The first area detector is a MacScience DIP2030H-VLM dual 30cm diameter Imaging Plate detector. This system is suitable for protein crystals of 30 to 400 Å cell dimensions, which diffract up to 1.3 Å resolution. The second detector is a Bruker SMART 2K CCD, which can reach upto 0.84 Å resolution. For enhanced data we have available a choice of sample cooling systems. Both systems are equipped with a Cryo Industries of America CRYOCOOLER. A 4 °C Cold Air refrigerated cooling system is available for samples which cannot be frozen, or do not require freezing.

Diffractometer scheduling is available online.
