ADSC
Q-270 detector at the F1 station
This is
the latest development from ADSC; it utilizes a new
low-noise CCD chip for improved performance with weakly
diffracting crystals.

MacCHESS
has an ALS-style crystal automounter available at
beamline F1
Automounters
are intended to help maximize throughput at synchrotron
beam lines where heavy shielding and safety interlocks
slow manual access to the experiment. A sizable number
of crystals can be stored in the hutch, accessed
randomly, mounted and dismounted; all without entering
the hutch. |

The National
Institutes of Health
(NIH), through its National
Center for Research Resources
(NCRR),
funds MacCHESS for two purposes: core research and support
of CHESS users, who perform macromolecular diffraction
experiments. MacCHESS staff conduct research in the areas of
cell signaling, micro diffraction, membrane proteins,
optimized data collection at synchrotron sources,
crystallographic phasing, large unit cell crystallography,
x-ray optics for crystallography and other areas relevant to
macromolecular crystallography. On the user support front,
the facility makes available specialized equipment and
expertise, in addition to those provided by CHESS to all
users. MacCHESS staff provide training and advice in the use
of all these amenities. Guidance in determining MacCHESS's
major emphases is provided by the MacCHESS Advisory
Committee. |
