Beamline 14-ID-B: Sector 14 - Insertion Device Beamline

Description

The 14-ID-B station is an insertion device station with two in-line undulators (U23 and U27). It supports Laue and time-resolved crystallography and time-resolved solution scattering (ns and ps pulsed lasers are available). The ID and bending magnet stations are embedded in a biohazards facility suitable for handling biohazards at the BSL2 and BSL3 levels.  

Supported Techniques

• Time-resolved crystallography
• Time-resolved x-ray scattering
• Laue crystallography
• Wide-angle x-ray scattering
• Biohazards at the BSL2/3 level
• Macromolecular crystallography
