Welcome!
ALERT Coming January 26th - updated Scheduling calendar interfaces! Improved layouts, modernized look and feel and simplified options to make booking resource time more intuitive. See here and here for more information.
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 lab has two Rigaku X-ray generators (RU-H2R and RU-200), each 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.
