The Facility

The multi-user macromolecular x-ray crystallography facility (XRF) at the Kasha Laboratory Building (KLB) in the Institute of Molecular Biophysics (IMB) provides the instrument and expertise for collecting and processing x-ray diffraction data from macromolecular single crystals. It is one of the Core Facilities available to all the members of Structural Biology Program and others. XRF is located on the east side of the fourth floor of KLB. The Facility (floor plan). More facility information is available at XRF Homepage >>>

XRF Fee Structure

Starting in September 2009 XRF has introduced user-fees to defray part of the cost of running the Facility. More information on the XRF Fee Structure.

Instruments

XRF is equipped with two Rigaku RU-H2R x-ray generators, three Osmic confocal mirror systems, one Rigaku R-Axis IIc IP detector and a Mar CCD165 detector. The Facility has two Oxford CryoStream cryocoolers and one American Magnetics auto-refill system. More Info >>>

Accessories

The facility has stereo-zoom microscopes, crystallization chambers maintained at variety of temperatures, and data processing hardward and software. The Facility Director also coordinates data collection work using FSU's membership in SER-CAT in Advanced Photon Source Beam-line 22. More Resources >>>
