================================================================ Beamtime for MX still available at CHESS, Nov. 1 - Dec. 21, 2017 ================================================================
The CHESS/MacCHESS facility, located at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, invites macromolecular crystallographers to apply for time on our F1 station. This station is well equipped for crystallographic data collection, for MR or Se SAD phasing. It features a Dectris Pilatus3 6M detector and an ALS-type automounter. We offer remote and mail-in modes of data collection, and our expert staff provides exceptional support 24/7. "Non-standard" experiments needing some special setup are welcome. Apply for time on-line at http://userdb.chess.cornell.edu. Applications are accepted at any time, and turn-around time can be just a couple of weeks - less if you already have a proposal in our system and just need to submit a beamtime request. For more information see the web site http://www.chess.cornell.edu, or contact administrator Kathy Dedrick, k...@cornell.edu. ===== A special option ====== Pressure cryocooling of (unfrozen) crystals is available by prearrangement. This method can reduce the damage induced by cryocooling, often with no need for cryoprotectants (Kim et al., Acta Cryst. D61, 881-890 (2005)). In some cases, it can reduce initial disorder (high mosaicity, anisotropic diffraction, some kinds of twinning). Contact Marian Szebenyi (dm...@cornell.edu) if you have questions about pressure cryocooling.
