"Mail-in Data
Collection" is inexpensive (cost of sending a
dewar) and an efficient means of beamline operation created in
response to the growing need for frequent synchrotron beam time
by the protein crystallographic community. Users send their crystals to
a NSLS
beamline scientist to collect data on the user's
behalf.

This program is very popular and successful and in no way exclusive of
the other modes of access for beam time. We actually enjoy meeting
people we collaborate with.Publications

| Experiments |
**If
your samples are
potentially hazardous we will need to know in advance so we can
consider safety issues and help you fill
out a Safety
Approval Form.
Typical experiments range from screening
(cryo-protectant, mosaicity, resolution), solving structures via SAD
(MAD) datasets mostly at the Se edge or push for resolution on native
datasets.
Tips for a successful trip |

How
to proceed
- Contact Annie
Héroux if you have any questions about the feasibility of
the desired
experiment.
- Access our database (PXdb)
and create your group
information. We strongly recommend to have a valid Guest Registration
with the NSLS (life number).
- Fill out a Project
Form for each project you are sending
crystals.
- Provide us with some information
about
the crystals via the Pucks/Cane
Setup.
- Complete a Mail-in
Request in the PXdb.
- Send the dewar
- Check the progress via the database
