Dear All, Just a reminder that May 15, 2010 is the deadline for the July-August 2010 Rapid Access Proposal cycle for PX beamtime at the ALS. The BCSB beamlines (5.0.1,5.0.2, 5.0.3, 8.2.1 & 8.2.2) can all be operated remotely and are all equipped with ADSC Q315(R) detectors. Beamlines 8.2.2, 8.2.1 and 5.0.2 are tuneable stations whereas 5.0.1 and 5.0.3 are fixed-wavelength beamlines. Control software for the beamlines features an interface allowing ultra high-throughput screening, automated annotation of diffraction quality and on the fly indexing and collection strategy feedback. The automounters in use on sector 5 support the unipuck and the ALS puck (both commercially available at http://www.crystalpositioningsystems.com). Beamlines 8.2.1 and 8.2.2. support in addition to the uni- and ALS puck the Rigaku system (http://www.rigaku.com/) To submit a proposal, please go to the ALS website link listed below: http://alsusweb.lbl.gov/4DCGI/WEB_GetForm/PXProposalEntry.shtml/Initialize Thank you, Stacey Ortega 510-495-2450
