FragMAX is a user facility for crystallographic fragment and ligand screening at the BioMAX beamline at MAX IV Laboratory The facility is open to Swedish and international scientists from both academia and industry. FragMAX has been operational since 2020, and our user programme has grown steadily, with more than 50 fragment screening campaigns performed to
Macromolecular Crystallography (MX) is an essential technique to determine the structure of biological molecules like proteins and nucleic acids to high resolution. 4th generation sources such as MAX IV, coupled with the use of advanced beamline instrumentation and fast readout detectors make it possible to study macromolecular crystals both by the conventional rotation method and
Below are some of the questions we have receive concerning SCS.
Describing different access modes for SCS
Highlights from starting SCS till now. SINCRYS Experimental Hutch Lennard Krause was busy installing the experimental hutch for SINCRYS while SCS staff were away at the IUCr Congress. IUCr Congress in Calgary, Canada 2026 Staff at SCS attended the IUCr congress in Calgary meeting with a presentation about SCS and the current progress of estabilishing
The Scandinavian Crystallography Service (SCS) is a single crystal X-ray diffraction service for chemical crystallography and materials science. Single crystal X-ray diffraction is the preferred technique to solve the atomic structure of a crystalline material. Today, it is a routine technique in many research laboratories, however, the limited flux, spectral purity and focusing ability of
Single (micro) crystal X-ray diffraction First Light is expected in October 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
