Dear all,
MAX IV in Lund, Sweden has opened the 3. user call to receive proposals
requesting beamtime at BioMAX for the period Oct 2017-June 2019 until April 27.
In order to submit a new proposal, please visit this page:
https://www.maxiv.lu.se/users/open-calls/
BioMAX started its user operation in March 2017 and could successfully operate
already around 50 proposals within a limited number of user operations. Within
the next beam period we will ramp up the operations and will offer BioMAX to
the broad international user community. The beam line is under continuous
commissioning and will offer the following features during the next user period:
• 20x5 µm^2 beam focus at sample position (can be further reduced by apertures
down to 5x5 µm^2)
• Around 7-9 x 10^12 Phot/sec at 200 mA ring filling at sample position
• Average exposure time between 8-10 msec / frame, corresponding to
10-30% transmission
• Tuneable energy range 5-20 keV
• Initial sample changer capability using SPINE samples and UNIPucks possible
with ISARA sample changer
• Eiger 16M hybrid pixel detector 130 Hz frame rate for 16M mode
• MD3 micro diffractometer
• HClab crystal dehydration device with fast nozzle changer for crystal
dehydration and room temperature data collections
• MXCuBE3 experiment control software & ISPyB database support
• Automatic data processing during data collection
• Standard crystallographic software installed
• >1000 core HPC environment availalbe
• Sample preparation laboratory for crystal handling
MAXIV is member of the EU project iNEXT, which also supports travel and
accommodation for international user groups (See also:
http://www.inext-eu.org). On campus, we will have a guesthouse available, which
can be booked via MAXIV before the beamtime as well.
We are looking forward for your beamtime proposals and the collaboration during
your stay at MAX IV.
Please take also into account the long EBS-upgrade shutdown of the ESRF!
