Dear CCP4bb Users, The new and fully-upgraded macromolecular crystallography beamline at CHESS, FlexX, is now accepting Rapid Access proposals for the Fall 2019 run. Rapid Access ensures fast proposal review turnaround (two weeks or less) for access to slots still available for this run. Please include the words "RAPID ACCESS" in the proposal title when submitting for rapid turnaround.
SPRING 2020 RUN: The regular proposal deadline for the Spring 2020 run is Oct. 28, 2019. The FlexX station (beamline ID7B2) is the all-new macromolecular crystallography station at CHESS. The recently completed CHESS upgrade has considerably improved our capabilities in order to meet the the stringent demands of every user. Current capabilities include: * undulator source with multilayer monochromator for high flux. 7-14 keV energy range. Standard beam sizes available: 100 x 100 um (H x V FWHM) and 10 x 10 um microbeam. * single-axis goniostat, PILATUS3 6M detector, BAM2 automounter accepting Unipucks * remote data collection with on-site CHESS staff scientist support * we welcome "non-standard" experiments! The staff at CHESS is more than happy to work with users who want to perform experiments beyond standard rotation cryocrystallography. Interested in trying serial crystallography for room-temperature data collection, or microcrystals? High-pressure cryocooling for reduced mosaicity? High-pressure crystallography with a diamond anvil cell? We can accommodate your needs and more! Interested?
