<\/h3>\nThe X-ray Laboratory in the Department of Chemistry maintains a Bruker D8 Venture instrument, including a kappa four circle goniometer, Cu ImuS DIAMOND X-ray source and PHOTON III M28 area detector for single crystal X-ray diffraction. This instrument is available for use by trained users in the BU community. Structure determinations are also available on a service basis.<\/p>\n
Additional information is available as a PDF Brochure<\/a>.<\/p>\n The D8 Venture is primarily designed for data collection on crystals of proteins and small molecules for solution and refinement of their detailed 3D structure. Many other X-ray scattering experiments are available on three instruments in the MSE Core Research Facility<\/b>. These include polycrystalline XRD, thin film diffraction, rocking curve analysis, texture and stress measurements, X-ray reflectometry and small angle X-ray scattering in transmission and grazing incidence modes.
