High-throughput operation of sample-exchange robots with double tongs at the Photon Factory beamlines
Sample-exchange robots that can exchange cryo-pins bearing protein crystals out of experimental hutches according to user instructions have been developed. The robots were designed based on the SAM (Stanford Synchrotron Research Laboratory automated mounting) system. In order to reduce the time required for the sample exchange, the single tongs of the SAM system were modified and a double-tongs...
متن کاملImplementation of remote monitoring and diffraction evaluation systems at the Photon Factory macromolecular crystallography beamlines
Owing to recent advances in high-throughput technology in macromolecular crystallography beamlines, such as high-brilliant X-ray sources, high-speed readout detectors and robotics, the number of samples that can be examined in a single visit to the beamline has increased dramatically. In order to make these experiments more efficient, two functions, remote monitoring and diffraction image evalu...
متن کاملThe Stanford Automated Mounter: pushing the limits of sample exchange at the SSRL macromolecular crystallography beamlines
The Stanford Automated Mounter System, a system for mounting and dismounting cryo-cooled crystals, has been upgraded to increase the throughput of samples on the macromolecular crystallography beamlines at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource. This upgrade speeds up robot maneuvers, reduces the heating/drying cycles, pre-fetches samples and adds an air-knife to remove frost from the g...
متن کاملIntegrated software for macromolecular crystallography synchrotron beamlines II: revision, robots and a database.
This manuscript chronicles the evolution of software used originally to control a diffractometer at a macromolecular crystallography beamline. The system has been augmented and rewritten. A modular and carefully organized suite of programs now handles the whole experimental environment from a single vantage point. It provides automatic logging of the experiment and communication with the user, ...
متن کاملA new on-axis multimode spectrometer for the macromolecular crystallography beamlines of the Swiss Light Source
X-ray crystallography at third-generation synchrotron sources permits tremendous insight into the three-dimensional structure of macromolecules. Additional information is, however, often required to aid the transition from structure to function. In situ spectroscopic methods such as UV-Vis absorption and (resonance) Raman can provide this, and can also provide a means of detecting X-ray-induced...
