Status | Decommissioned |
%Time Available (general use) | 80 |
Experiments | SAD, FLUORESCENCE |
Experiments Details | The X-ray wavelength is below most interesting absorption edges, and this has been exploited in the use of SAD phasing |
Special Capabilities | Humidity control |
Special Capabilities Details | used to improve the diffraction quality -We are looking for people who will share some of their protein or crystals in order for us to test them with the humidity control device (HC1) at ESRF. |

Sample Handling: Robotics | EMBL Grenoble Sample Changer (SC3) |
Robotics: More Info | The Sample Changer has been designed for use with SPINE standard sample holders and vials, which are loaded into the SC in baskets specifically designed for the SCs. The goniometer head that must be used in conjunction with the SCs is equipped with a SmartMagnet. This detects whether a sample is mounted on the goniometer head or not. Each indivudual SmartMagnet is tuned for operation on a particular beam-line and a goniometer head must NOT be taken from one beam-line for use on another. |
