MX-14-2
Macromolecular Crystallography 14.2
The beamline BL 14.2 is a tuneable energy beamline for macromolecular crystallography. This beamline has a high level of automation and can perform X-ray diffraction experiments of very small crystals down to 15 micrometers and is dedicated to highly automated fragment-screening experiments. Please find in the table below the characteristic of the MX station at beamline 14.2.
