Access routes

UDC is a well-established fast and flexible automated data collection service. This access mode is the most efficient and cost-effective option for all standard MX experiments using 'reasonable quality' macromolecular crystals and is the preferred option for most of our industrial users. You simply select the most suitable experiment type and provide basic data collection parameters when registering your samples. The UDC pipeline will use the X-ray beam to align the crystals and collect high-quality data from your samples. Further information

This mode allows you to collect data yourself by accessing the beamline via an interactive remote connection or by coming on-site. This route is best suited for more challenging non-standard MX experiments, such as testing new crystals where diffraction quality is unknown, collecting data for difficult phasing, or if there are specific microfocus beam requirements. Further information.

Fully supported mail-in service enables the Industrial Liaison MX team to collect data for you. You simply provide the samples, and we will design the experiment according to your needs. This access mode is reserved for challenging projects which would benefit from the expertise of our experienced team members.
