BioMAX is the first macromolecular crystallography beamline at the MAX IV Laboratory 3 GeV storage ring, which is the first operational multi-bend achromat storage ring. Due to the low-emittance storage ring, BioMAX has a parallel, high-intensity X-ray beam, even when focused down to 20 µm × 5 µm using the bendable focusing mirrors. The beam is tunable in the energy range 5-25 keV using the in-vacuum undulator and the horizontally deflecting double-crystal monochromator. BioMAX is equipped with an MD3 diffractometer, an ISARA high-capacity sample changer and an EIGER 16M hybrid pixel detector. Data collection at BioMAX is controlled using the newly developed MXCuBE3 graphical user interface, and sample tracking is handled by ISPyB. The computing infrastructure includes data storage and processing both at MAX IV and the Lund University supercomputing center LUNARC. With state-of-the-art instrumentation, a high degree of automation, a user-friendly control system interface and remote operation, BioMAX provides an excellent facility for most macromolecular crystallography experiments. Serial crystallography using either a high-viscosity extruder injector or the MD3 as a fixed-target scanner is already implemented. The serial crystallography activities at MAX IV Laboratory will be further developed at the microfocus beamline MicroMAX, when it comes into operation in 2022. MicroMAX will have a 1 µm × 1 µm beam focus and a flux up to 10 photons s with main applications in serial crystallography, room-temperature structure determinations and time-resolved experiments.
BioMAX是MAX IV实验室3 GeV储存环上的第一条大分子晶体学光束线,该储存环是首个投入运行的多弯铁消色差储存环。由于储存环的发射度低,即使使用可弯曲聚焦镜将光束聚焦至20 µm×5 µm,BioMAX仍能产生平行的高强度X射线束。利用真空内波荡器和水平偏转双晶单色仪,光束能量可在5 - 25 keV范围内调节。BioMAX配备了MD3衍射仪、ISARA大容量样品更换器和EIGER 16M混合像素探测器。BioMAX的数据收集由新开发的MXCuBE3图形用户界面控制,样品跟踪由ISPyB处理。计算基础设施包括MAX IV和隆德大学超级计算中心LUNARC的数据存储和处理。凭借最先进的仪器设备、高度自动化、用户友好的控制系统界面和远程操作,BioMAX为大多数大分子晶体学实验提供了出色的设施。使用高粘度挤出机注射器或MD3作为固定靶扫描器的串行晶体学已经实现。MAX IV实验室的串行晶体学活动将在微聚焦光束线MicroMAX于2022年投入运行时进一步发展。MicroMAX将具有1 µm×1 µm的光束聚焦和高达10 photons s的通量,主要应用于串行晶体学、室温结构测定和时间分辨实验。
