Diffraction Services
For all diffraction services, only crystals are required. The facility provides all the other necessary components and tools to conduct the experiments. For small molecule x-ray diffraction, we route users and crystals to the . Macromolecular x-ray diffraction experiments are conducted at the same site as the crystallography facility using the following constellation of instrumentation:
General Crystallography Laboratory Use
- The Crystallography lab is fully equipped to facilitate all manners of crystal examination, manipulation, cryo-preservation and storage.
X-Ray Diffraction
- A new Bruker Venture D8 with dual sealed sources (moly and copper), Oxford cryosystems cryocooling, and a PHOTON IIIc shutterless pixel array detector.

Computer Resources
- The core facility has its own computer server that provides users with disk space to analyze their diffraction data. Contact the Director about getting an account setup.
Synchrotron Access
- ºÚÁÏÍø is a founding member of (sector 22 at the Advanced Photon Source) and continues to support two shares thereof. This affords us 288 hours of synchrotron beamtime annually, split evenly over two hutches (22-ID and 22-BM). This facility coordinates usage of this beam time. Contact the Director for more information about access to beamtime.
