REMINDER: APPLICATION PROCEDURE FOR PROPOSALS FOR BEAMTIME ON THE ESRF
Bio-SAXS BEAMLINE ID14-3
The new Bio-SAXS beamline at ID14-3 at the ESRF (
http://www.esrf.fr/UsersAndScience/Experiments/MX/About_our_beamlines/ID14-3
) was officially inaugurated on the 15th June 2009
(http://www.esrf.fr/news/general/inauguration_ID14-3/inauguration_ID14-3/).
Robotic sample loading is now available on the beam-line using a device
constructed in a collaboration between the EMBL (Grenoble and Hamburg
outstations) and the ESRF. Automated data analysis will also be
implemented following the model of the SAXS facility at X-33, EMBL Hamburg.
Eventually the end-station will be fully automated (sample loading, data
collection, processing and preliminary analysis) and will rapidly
provide users standard data concerning the size (radius of gyration,
maximum dimension and volume) and molecular weight of samples and allow
on-the fly /ab-inito/ shape reconstruction in order to provide feedback
enabling the data collection strategies to be optimized. Future plans
extend to allowing remote access to the new Bio-SAXS facility, based on
the system currently in use on the ESRF's MX end-stations.
Application for beam-time on this facility can be made via the rolling
access mechanism at ANY time. Those who wish to apply (including
members of ESRF MX BAG Groups) should use the mechanism at:
http://www.esrf.fr/UsersAndScience/UserGuide/Applying/ProposalGuidelines/MXnon-BAGproposal
where it must be clearly indicated in the title of the proposal that the
application is for Bio-SAXS beamtime on ID14-3.
