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 the Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland: 
https://www.psi.ch/en/swissfel/calls

Proposal submission deadline: 15.03.2023 (midnight CEST time)

Proposals evaluated: 15.03.2023 – 30.04.2023

Beamtimes scheduled: 01.08.2023 – 17.12.2023

New or inexperienced users are welcome to contact the Alvra group leader Camila 
Bacellar ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) to discuss 
their proposals ahead of submission.

Users must submit their proposals via the DUO system (https://duo.psi.ch/duo/). 
Details of the available experimental parameters at Alvra are shown 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 with 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 directly for details 
([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>).

Best wishes,

Emma Beale
