Yeah! Come collect data on our newly upgraded ADSC Q315r area detector. Here is the "proof"
The structure of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius XPD has recently been solved and the biochemical activites of various disease causing mutations measured. Results are reported in the May 30th issue of Cell. LBNL has also done a nice write up.
a resource for HTS of crystallization conditions.
It’s gone! We boxed up our Q315 yesterday and sent it back to ADSC for an upgrade to the Q315r model. Essentially this is an upgrade to the amplifiers that read out the CCDs and the other associated electronics for getting the raw images to the detector computers for processing. The fiber optic…
