Beamtime access during the APS Dark Period<\/h2>\n

91ºÚÁÏÍø crystallographers have access to macromolecular beamlines through membership in the Life Sciences Collaborative Access Team (LS-CAT)<\/a> at the Advanced Photon Source<\/a> of Argonne National Laboratory<\/a>.<\/p>\n

LS-CAT provides a significant amount of beamtime throughout the Dark Period to 91ºÚÁÏÍø researchers via LS-CAT Block Allocation Group proposals to NSLS-II at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Diamond Light Source in the UK, and ESRF in Grenoble, France.<\/p>\n

For Dark Period Beamtime, go to https:\/\/ls-cat.org\/darkperiodtime.html<\/a>. The website is continually updated. Check the website each time you want to request time for the most current instructions and information.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please read the following additional instructions from LS-CAT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The “arrive to” LS-CAT deadlines for your dewars for each upcoming synchrotron visit are on our home page. There could be a possibility of dewars getting too full to hold all of your crystals for one trip if you have a large number of samples, so please indicate in some way in the Sample Spreadsheet any higher priority samples (some people use background colors in the table, with a legend of what they mean at the top). \u00a0Let us know other things you wish to be considered during data collection as well.<\/p>\n

Please include a return FedEx label inside your shipping container along with the Dewar Form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
In addition, please send the following information for each of your samples (ESRF is very particular):<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Protein\/macromolecule name, long\/descriptive form<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
Acronym you would like to use<\/div>\n
Species of Origin (e.g.,<\/i>\u00a0Human, Rat, specific bacterium, etc.)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Expression cells (e.g.,<\/i> E. coli, Insect, CHO cells, etc.) – OR – state if they are chemically synthesized<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If you have\u00a0any questions, please let us know,<\/p>\n
