For remote access, there are several extra steps which need to be completed before the start of your beamtime. These are summarised in the table below, but more information is available on the following pages.
| Action | When |
| Register samples in UAS and submit for ERA grading (don’t forget to include an acronym!) | at least 2 weeks before beamtime |
| Register all users – make sure all remote users are listed and designated as remote | at least 2 weeks before beamtime |
|
Check all samples registered in the UAS are listed in ISPyB Speak to your local contact if there are issues |
1 day after ERA grading notification |
| Prepare samples in pucks | to be completed at least 4 working days before beamtime |
| Add shipment and samples in ISPyB | to be completed at least 4 working days before beamtime |
| Prepare shipping information and print labels | at least 4 working days before beamtime |
| Ship Dewar to Diamond | at least 3 working days before beamtime |
| Receive notification of Dewar arrival at Diamond – if not check Dewar tracking in ISPyB and courier company | at least 2 working days before beamtime |
We recommend following the shipping timetable below to ensure Dewars are at Diamond ready for the time they are required.
| Beamtime | Latest Arrival at Diamond | Ship By |
| Monday | Friday 4pm (previous week) | Wednesday (previous week) |
| Tuesday | Monday 4pm | Thursday (previous week) |
| Wednesday | Tuesday 4pm | Friday (previous week) |
| Thursday | Wednesday 4pm | Monday |
| Friday | Thursday 4pm | Tuesday |
| Saturday | Friday 4pm | Wednesday |
| Sunday | Friday 4pm | Wednesday |
Please try to ensure Dewars arrive at least 48 hours before the start of beamtime - this will allow flexibility around puck loading and for unexpected delays by DHL.
