BioMAX is working in regular user operation and is providing 8-24h beamtime to individual users or BAG user groups. Within the next beam period we are aiming to initiate the remote beamline operation as an additional access scheme to the international user community. The beam line is under continuous commissioning and will offer the following features during the next user period:

• Variable beam focus down to 20x5 µm^2 at the sample position at full photon flux (can be further reduced by apertures down to 5x5 µm^2)
• 2 x 10^13 Phot/sec at 250 mA ring filling at sample position

• Standard exposure time 11 msec / frame, corresponding to 10-60% transmission

• Tuneable energy range 5-20 keV

• MAD capabilities

• Raster scan mode

• Helical scan mode

• Serial crystallography applications using high viscosity extrusion injector and fixed target scanner (MD3 based)
• Sample changer operation using Uni-pucks, < 25 sec sample exchange time
• Eiger 16M hybrid pixel detector 130 Hz frame rate for 16M mode
• MD3-micro diffractometer, 150 nm sphere-of-confusion for micro-crystal centring

• HC-lab crystal dehydration device with fast nozzle changer for crystal dehydration and room temperature data collections

• MXCuBE3 experiment control software & ISPyB database support
• Automatic data processing during data collection
• Standard crystallographic software installed
• >1000 core HPC environment available online and offline access
• Sample preparation laboratory for crystal handling

• S1 bio-safety level bio-laboratory in close vicinity

MAX IV is member of the EU access project iNEXT, which also supports travel and accommodation for international user groups (See also: http://www.inext-eu.org). On campus, we have a guesthouse available, which can be booked via MAX IV before the beamtime as well.
We are looking forward for your beamtime proposals and the collaboration during your stay at MAX IV.
