MX BAG Training

Training sessions for users of the Macromolecular Crystallography (MX) beamlines.

Location
Diamond light Source, Oxfordshire, UK

The Diamond Light Source Macromolecular Crystallography group would like to invite both our academic and industrial users to MX beamline training sessions on the 19th and 20th February 2020.

The aim is to provide MX users with sufficient training to be able to operate any of the Diamond MX beamlines efficiently and to get the most benefit from their beamtime. The training will involve hands-on sessions on the suite of five operational MX beamlines as well as optional offline software sessions.

The MX Bag training is targeted at all users, not limited to students and post docs. It is essential that each BAG sends at least one representative per calendar yearcalendar year, so they can cascade the information to the rest of their BAG.

Sessions include:

Welcome & Registration on 19th February, from 11 am to 11:30 am, followed by a welcome presentation and lunch.

19th February – Hands on software

  • MX software: automation in data analysis
  • MX software: DUI, CCP4, advanced DIALS
  • Experiment database: ISPyB

20th February Beamline sessions
