Below are some of the questions we receive concerning SCS. How much knowledge do I need to have about diffraction to be able to use the service? None! We are here to help and explain your result if you need it. The more information you can give us the easier it is for us to
Describing different access modes for SCS
Highlights from starting SCS till now. Update on SINCRYS The front-end for SINCRYS is expected to be installed in January 2026 and the diffractometer will be installed in March 2026. Getting SINCRYS built will broaden the types of samples that SCS can collect. Advertising for SCS has started In May 2025 we started to engage
The Scandinavian Crystallography Service (SCS) is a single crystal X-ray diffraction service for chemical crystallography and materials science. SCS is a mail-in one-stop shop for industry and academics. The SCS aims to reduce the entry-barrier and lead time to obtain state-of-the-art synchrotron diffraction data. How to contact SCS? Academic and industrial users can access SCS
First Light is expected in 2026! Single crystal X-ray diffraction is the preferred technique to solve the atomic structure of a crystalline material. It is now a routine technique in many research laboratories, however, the limited flux, spectral purity and focusing ability of a lab-source severely limits the size and quality of the crystals that
FragMAX is a user facility for crystallographic fragment screening at the BioMAX beamline at MAX IV Laboratory. The facility is accessible to Swedish and international scientists from academia and industry. It provides simple workflows for large-scale crystal preparation, data collection and analysis. Users with different levels of experience are enabled to routinely find starting points
