Dear all,

I would like to draw your attention to the latest call for proposals for serial 
femtosecond crystallography (SFX) experiments at the SwissFEL Alvra Endstation 
at PSI: https://www.psi.ch/en/swissfel/users-and-calls

Proposal submission deadline: 15.09.2022 (midnight CEST time)

Proposals evaluated: 16.09.2022 – 23.10.2022

Beamtimes scheduled: 01.01.2023 – 30.06.2023

New or inexperienced users are welcome to contact the Alvra group leader Camila 
Bacellar ([email protected]) to discuss their proposals ahead of 
submission. They are also pointed to two recent reviews of SFX:

Barends et al. (2022)  https://doi.org/10.1038/s43586-022-00141-7
Brändén and Neutze (2021) https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aba0954

Users must submit their proposals via the DUO system (https://duo.psi.ch/duo/) 
and details of the available experimental parameters at Alvra can be found 
here: https://www.psi.ch/en/swissfel/alvra.

Sample delivery with in-house support is predominantly achieved using a 
high-viscosity extruder, suitable for both membrane and soluble protein 
crystals. Laboratory space onsite is available for sample preparation 
(including a dark room and an anaerobic chamber).

A pipeline for pre-characterising sample prior to applying for beamtime, in 
collaboration with the beamline staff, is available and strongly encouraged. 
Please contact me for details ([email protected]).

Best wishes,

Emma Beale
