X-Ray Laboratory

X-Ray Laboratory

Our in-house automated X-ray diffraction data collection system provides powerful, detailed diffraction data. Our automated system allows for continuous 24 hour generation of comprehensive data sets, up to 1.6 angstrom resolution. This automation increases our gene to structure throughput, and saves time and money for our partners. Our ability to collect top-of-the-line data allows us to solve structures rapidly and inexpensively. For smaller and more difficult crystals that need to be sent to a synchrotron, our system provides valuable pre-screening information. These efficiencies are passed on to our partners in terms of lower costs, higher quality structures, and faster turnaround times.
