X-Ray Lab
The X-ray lab supports Cancer Center Members research grants by providing high resolution diffraction data to allow atomic level visualization of proteins and their binding partners. The lab has one of the most intense commercially available X-ray sources with two well equipped experimental stations. Both experimental stations have adjustable 2 theta and can collect room temperature and cryogenically cooled data.

C |
X-ray Generator: The lab is equiped with a Rigaku FRE SuperBright rotating anode X-ray source that provides two X-ray ports with intensity similar to a second generation bending magnet. |

D |
Left Port: This X-ray port is equipped with an XStream 2000, Osmic Micromax confocal optics for maximum brilliance, an inverted φ goniometer, an R-Axis IV++ detector and an adjustable two theta. All equipment was obtained from Rigaku. |

Crystal Mounting Workstation: The crystal mounting workstation provides all the necessary tools to mount room temperature or cryo-cooled samples. Typically we use MiTeGen micromounts for both room temperature and cryo-cooled samples. Additionally, Hampton Research standard loop and capillary mounting are available. |
|
|
F |
Computer Workstations: Each detector has its own dedicated data collection and processing workstation powered by a Dell PC. Rigaku's Crystal Clear is used to screen, collect and process diffraction data. HKL Research's HKL2000 is also available on several Linux based workstations in the lab. Diffraction data is available on the network after collection. |
