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 and scattering data from macromolecular single crystals, viruses, and solutions. It is one of the Core Facilities available to all the members of Structural Biology Program. XRF is located on the east side of the fourth floor of KLB. The Facility (floor plan) comprises of a Detector Room (KLB 413), Control Room (KLB 410), Coldroom (KLB 411), and Crystal Room (KLB 412). Much more facility information is available at XRF Homepage >>>

Instruments

XRF is equipped with two Rigaku RU-H2R x-ray generators, three Osmic confocal mirror systems, one Rigaku R-Axis IIc IP detector, one Mar CCD165 detector, and one Bruker X-1000 area detector. The Facility has two Oxford CryoStream cryocoolers and one American Magnetics auto-refill system. More Info >>>

Accessories

The facility has stereo-zoom microscopes, low-vibration crystallization chambers for growing crystals at variety of temperatures, and data collection, processing, & archiving computers. Essential x-ray diffraction data processing software suites are licensed and available for the users at the Facility. The Facility Director also coordinates data collection work using FSU's membership in SER-CAT in Advanced Photon Source Beam-line 22. More Resources >>>
