BL-5A

BL-5A X-ray Beamline for High-throughput Macromolecular Crystallography

BL-5A is deigned for high-throughput MAD experiments with high-flux tunable beam and a rapid data acquisition system. The wide active area of the X-ray detector is particularly suited for measurements of crystals with large unit cell dimensions or high resolution data collection.
