Lab Facilities Essential wet lab facility exists. Cold room is available.
Biohazard BSL1 and BSL2.
Software Beam line is controlled by in house developed \"Console\" suite of programs. Data collection is via ADSC software. MD2 is controlled by it\'s own custom-made software. Most of the curent crystallographic softwares are available on beamline work stations.
Hardware Data storage device is a HP EVA-5000 SAN. SAN is accessed via high performance GPFS file system which gives upto 5 times the performance of NFS.
Backup Devices External firewire and USB disks.
