ATTENTION ⚠️
On Saturday April 20th, 2024 at 8:00 AM (UTC), emergency site maintenance has been scheduled for iLab Primary U.S. Details and updates can be found on the Agilent Status Page. For additional information, please contact the Agilent iLab Support by clicking on 'Help' at the top of your account page or by emailing ilab-support@agilent.com.
The Macromolecular Crystallography X-ray Diffraction Lab is used by researchers to collect their own X-ray data in order to determine the molecular structures of proteins, viruses, and nucleic acids using X-ray crystallographic techniques. The new "curly" is a modern Rigaku X-ray MicroMax-007 HF generator, with VariMax-VHF Arc)Sec confocal optics (X-ray beam about 100 times stronger, and only 100 microns, instead of 500 microns), and an Eiger2 R 4M photon counting detector (instead of a charge integrating image plate detector). The old "moe" was decommissioned July 24, 2023. It was a Rigaku RU-H2R generator, with a Rigaku R-AXIS IV++ image plate detector, multilayer confocal X-ray focusing optics, Oxford Cryosystems dry nitrogen gas cryogenic crystal cooler, and an inverted phi axis for easy mounting and recovery of crystals.
Contact the X-ray Diffraction Lab manager Tim Schmidt (tschmidt@purdue.edu) for initial X-ray safety training and subsequent help using the equipment to collect X-ray data. For those with little or no background in X-ray crystallography, assistance in understanding the basic fundamentals of X-ray crystallography is also provided.
