Dear all, The closing date for receipt of beamtime proposals for run5 at ESRF (the last of this year!) is... this Friday the 22nd September! Please submit your proposals via our friendly web-based application as soon as possible. The details how are outlined below: Link for beamtime applications: http://www.esrf.fr/exp_facilities/BM14/applyforbeamtime/eproposal.html **********************Sample Changer news****************************** Please note for those of you interested in using the EMBL/ESRF/BM14 robotic sample changer (THE SC3) (you'd be mad not too) you need to mount your samples with the SPINE standard holder AND VIAL. The complete system is currently available from Hampton research as Crystal cap HT: (http://www.hamptonresearch.com/products/ProductDetails.aspx?cid=24&sid=152& pid=445) A sample changer starter kit (baskets and tools for use with the SC3) is available from molecular dimensions: (http://www.moleculardimensions.com/uk/index.ihtml) Please don't hesitate to contact us for further information and advice. To illustrate how this new addition aids better science: We can provide you with sample changer accessories (baskets for holding samples to be mounted in sample changer and if you're really desperate some spine caps and vials-please just contact us for more details on how to use this new addition to the beamline) **********************Mini kappa Goniostat********************************* Our standard goniostat is now the minikappa goniostat see http://www.embl-grenoble.fr/groups/instr/MK2.pdf for an overview! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYNCHROTRON BEAM TIME FOR MACROMOLECULAR CRYSTALLOGRAPHY AT THE UK/EMBL MAD BEAMLINE BM14,ESRF ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEADLINE for proposals: 22 September 2006 Call for proposals from EMBL member states, EU states and associated states for Oct/Dec 2006 synchrotron run at ESRF The bending magnet MAD beamline BM14 at the ESRF is being operated as a UK Collaborative Research Group (CRG) beamline in collaboration with the EMBL Grenoble Outstation. Proposals for beam time can be made via a user-friendly web based application form, both for monochromatic and multi-wavelength experiments. Beam time is available to groups from the UK and EMBL, EU and EU associated member states. Link: http://www.esrf.fr/exp_facilities/BM14/applyforbeamtime/eproposal.html Reimbursement is available for travel and subsistence for groups based in the UK based and EU member or associate member states (see http://www.esrf.fr/exp_facilities/BM14/needtoknow/reimbursement.html) Full details of the beamline characteristics, the user program and the procedure for the submission of electronic proposals can be found at the beamline homepage http://www.bm14.ac.uk or by following the links from www.embl-grenoble.fr or www.esrf.fr ****************************************** PLEASE NOTE NEW TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS ****************************************** =========================================== Martin A.
