Described here is the current status of the upgraded size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) system implemented with the D22 small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) instrument at the Institut Laue-Langevin. Since its initial proof of principle in 2016, this SEC-SANS arrangement has been continuously requested by the user community, leading to the design of an upgraded version. A detailed description of the setup and its control is provided, and a few examples of protein structural investigations are presented, which will highlight the various possibilities and limitations of the setup to optimize experimental success.
本文介绍了劳厄-朗之万研究所使用D22小角中子散射(SANS)仪器实现的升级尺寸排阻色谱(SEC)系统的当前状态。自2016年首次原理验证以来,用户群体一直不断要求使用这种SEC-SANS配置,从而促成了升级版的设计。文中提供了该装置及其控制的详细描述,并给出了一些蛋白质结构研究的示例,这些示例将突出该装置在优化实验成功方面的各种可能性和局限性。
