Protein Crystallography Endstations
Instrumentation ranging from fully integrated systems to stand-alone components for Protein Crystallography Experimental Stations
Over the last years Bruker ASC has developed and delivered several components and systems for protein crystallography (PX) endstations and can now offer a complete product range for PX endstations including diffractometer, sample changer, beam conditioning elements and the support structures for the diffractometer and CCD-detector. Reference projects are complete endstations delivered to the Canadian Light Source, PROXIMA1 beamline at Soleil, LS-CAT at the APS in Chicago, and BESSY.
The Bruker ASC endstation concept allows a flexible arrangement of the beam conditioning elements to meet the needs of the specific beamline. This includes the integration of standard components such as attenuators, slit systems, ion chambers, beam position and intensity monitors, fast shutters as well as specific customized components. The scope of supply can be individually selected by the customer and each component can be freely arranged on the alignment table.
