Facilities shared between both beamlines
- Data storage: Current network storage system consists of three Nexan SATABeast systems with an aggregate of 150 TB of available storage space over fiber-optic network, using IBM developed GPFS file system.
- Computational Software: Essential crystallographic software is made available to users via SBGrid suite.
- Automated data collection strategy and data processing is offered using a NE-CAT developed RAPD pipeline running on a compute cluster.
- Computing cluster: a multi-core compute-cluster enable susers to assay data quality and evaluate the efficacy of data collection strategies on the same time scale as data collection itself.
- A humidity-controlling device – HC1 is available to test the possibility of improving the diffraction by a small change of relative humidity of crystals.
- Users can ship their unfrozen crystals in a temperature controlled (from 4 to 30ºC) shipping device - iQ2, for use of HC1.
- FTS Air-Jet crystal cooler (-40 to +100 ºC).
- A fully equipped chemistry laboratory is available for users.
- Several sets of robotic pucks are available for users via our “puck loaning program”.
