Description

Sample exchange system is one of key technologies for folly-automated data collection at synchrotron beamlines. The structural biology research center of the Photon Factory (PF) has developed and operated sample exchange system PAM (PF Automated Mounting system) at macromolecular crystallography beamlines of PF and PF-AR. BL-1A has been built for longer wavelength experiments and opened for users since 2010. We also installed the PAM at BL-1A. In order to decrease absorption of diffraction signal by air, we covered whole diffractometer with a helium chamber recently. In parallel with development of the chamber, we developed a new sample exchange system PAM-HC. The PAM-HC can mount and dismount samples through a tunnel in a side of the chamber. We have opened the PAM-RC in October, 2014. (author)
