Description: Designed for complementary performance to the existing CMCF 08ID-1 beamline, the 08B1 beamline will be used for automated screening and for high-throughput crystallographic analysis of well-ordered crystals. The optics design incorporates a vertical collimating mirror, a double crystal monochromator (DCM) with water-cooled first crystal, and a toroidal focusing mirror. The endstation includes a versatile MD2 microdiffractometer and a Rayonix MX300HE X-ray detector. The beamline user software is the same MXDC user interface available at 08ID-1.

Endstation:

  • SAM Automounter
  • Oxford Instruments Cryojet
  • Rayonix MX300HE
  • MD2 Microdiffractometer
  • HC1-Humidity Control Device

Techniques:

  • X-ray diffraction
  • Multiwavelength Anomalous Dispersion (MAD)
  • Single Anomalous Dispersion (SAD)
  • XANES on crystals

Optics:

  • Vertical collimating mirror
  • DCM with indirectly water-cooled first crystal
  • Toroidal focusing mirror
