This workshop is geared towards anyone who has an interest in Serial Crystallography and would like to develop their skills in this area.
During this two-day workshop we will cover the basics of Serial Crystallography including, amongst other topics: sample preparation (focus on batch crystallisation) and characterisation, sample delivery methods, data collection and data processing. As part of the event we will also provide information and examples of time-resolved experiments that can be performed at Diamond Light Source.
Please see below a provisional agenda for the workshop. An updated agenda will be provided prior to the event.
