CIISB offers priority and free-of-charge access for COVID-19 research proposals

23 Mar 2020

CIISB is committed to the use its resources in response to the emergency situation of the COVID-19 virus pandemic. CIISB ensures that available technologies support primarily researchers in their efforts to study the virus and projects aiming to the development of an effective vaccine or treatment.

In this context, we are offering priority access to groups that need to use CIISB structural biology services for projects directly related to COVID-19 virus particles. Priority access will ensure a faster review of research proposals relating to COVID-19. To request priority access to CIISB services for COVID-19 related research, please submit a research proposal with COVID-19 in the title of the proposal.

Successfully accepted proposals will be free of charge, and no financial contribution will be requested for the measurement/service.

Upgrades at X-ray Diffraction and Bio-SAXS Core Facility

The universal, dual wavelength (Mo-Kα and Cu-Kα) diffractometer operated by X-ray Diffraction and Bio-SAXS Core Facility has been upgraded from the configuration Rigaku HighFlux HomeLab to the configuration Rigaku XtaLAB Synergy-DW™. The old X-ray detector Saturn 724+ based on CCD sensor Kodak KAF-4320E was replaced by a modern HPC (Hybrid Photon Counting) detector HyPix-6000HE and the old partial-chi axis goniometer AFC-11 by a fast high-precision 4-circle kappa goniometer. The effective performance of the diffractometer has increased approx 4 times, the new system is able to collect a complete diffraction datasets within a few (=1-3) hours, and the maximum resolution of diffraction data achievable before and after this upgrade has increased by about 0.3-0.5 Å.
