Experimental Hutch

last modified 13-03-2007 16:48

The experimental hutch at BM16 contains both a PX station and a Non Crystalline Diffraction(NCD) station and can therefore facillitate a wide-range of experimental techniques.

Protein Crystallography (PX)

px_diff
  • Single-axis HUBER diffractometer 20 arcsec accuracy (SOC 4-5 microns) - fastest angular oscillation 1 degree/sec
  • A fast and reliable UniBlitz milli-second shutter syncronised with the phi axis movement via a MUSST control unit.
  • Two pairs of horizontal and vertical slits from JJ-Xray separated by a gap of 200 mm. The first pair of slits define the beam size and the second pair remove scatter. The slits are made of Tungsten carbide (type 6 UF), are 2 mm thick and the edge is cut with an angle like a knife blade.
  • ADSC Q210r CCD detector - Pixel size 51 microns (unbinned). Readout time less than 1secs.  Vertical lift stage giving 90 mm of detector displacement for high resolution data collections - highest achievable resolution 0.7 A
  • Oxford 600 CryoSystem with fully automated refill system
  • AmpTek XR-100 CR fluorescence detector with 7 mm2 active area coupled with a PX4 Digital Pulse Processor
  • Fully automated edge scanning and MAD data collection
  • Integrated monochromatic beam attenuators
  • High resolution sample positioning camera with semi-automatic (3-click) sample centering
  • Typical beam size 100 to 200 microns
  • Typical exposure times 1-20 secs

Small & Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS/WAXS)

Bm16 saxs

  • Sample positioning table
  • LINKAM THMS600 stage covering the temperature range between RT to 600 C
  • Can accept most user supplied sample environment set ups - please contact Dr Francois Fauth for further details.
  • SAXS detector: MARCCD 165 (2048x2048 pixels highest achievable resolution - pixel size 78 microns. Readout time less than 4secs in non-binning mode mode but faster readouts possible in binning modes
  • WAXS detector: Princeton Instruments CCD camera (1242x1152 pixels) on 2theta arm
  • 6-m long camera to sample distance, adaptable
