Upgrades to the ID23-2 Macromolecular Crystallography Beamline at ESRF |
|
In a paper at the Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, Nanao, et al., discusses upgrades to the ID23-2 macromolecular crystallography fixed-energy (14.2 keV) microfocus beamline at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). These upgrades provide for an improved sample environment as well as automatic data reduction and analysis. In addition, they will allow for "more advanced protocols such as synchrotron serial crystallographic experiments." |

Did You Know We Offer Uni-pucks? |
|
|
|
Did you know we offer Uni-pucks the leading system for remote data collection at numerous beamlines around the world? The Uni-pucks available from MiTeGen are made in America by the longest established puck producer in crystallography. Not only do we offer Uni-pucks, but we also offer all the tools and accessories associated with them. |

Cryo-EM Vitrification Starter Kit |
|
Finding the right vitrification conditions is essential for the best samples in Cryo-EM.
Now you can easily find the best match for optimal vitrification. The Cryo-EM V-Kit that offers both a selection of surfactants, which have been successfully applied in cryo-EM sample preparation, and a selection of Quantifoil Holey Carbon Films to facilitate finding the optimal conditions for both soluble and membrane proteins.
