Beamline features

I02 is one of five diffraction beamlines for interpreting the structure of complex biological samples, such as proteins. It forms part of the MX village with I03, I04, I04-1 and I24. It is tuneable over a wavelength range of 0.68 - 2.48 Å and has a standard working energy of 0.979 Å or 12.658 keV. Beamline features include:

 Please enquire

Please discuss your requirements with the beamline scientist before your experiment

The sample changers currently use Unipucks. If you don't have Unipucks please bring samples in vials on canes for transfer to our pucks. SPINE standard pins are required for use of the robot. See here for details.
