ahenkel 23.1 11
ahenkel 6.1 12 suspension of microcrystals, **at least** 200 µL with 20% crystal density(more is always better), size range: 2-30 µm, **tip:** bring some mother liquor for washing, filtering, diluting etc.
ahenkel 5.1 13
14 Preparation:
15
16 * filter through 30 µm cell filter (green) into Eppendorf or Falcon (original!) tube

ahenkel 6.1 24
ahenkel 22.1 25 After filtration, screw the ElveFlow connector to your Eppendorf or Falcon tube. Make sure that the yellow-ish line goes to the bottom of your tube. You can adjust the length by unscrewing the blue fitting on top and pushing/pulling the yellow-ish line. **Don't forget to tigthen the blue fitting afterwards!**
ahenkel 5.1 26
ahenkel 21.1 27 Be aware to which channel and nozzle line your sample is connected.

ahenkel 31.1 29 Red → Channel 1, crystal line (nozzle capillary without marks/with red marks)
ahenkel 21.1 30
ahenkel 22.1 31 Green → Channel 2, substrate line (nozzle capillary is marked in black)

ahenkel 19.1 44 The TapeDrive is controlled through kamzik. To open kamzik, start the server. A terminal will open and shortly after a small window.
ahenkel 14.1 45 Now start the client. Same thing, a terminal will open, shortly after a small window.
ahenkel 16.1 46
47 Click 'Devices' in the **client session** to open the control window.

ahenkel 23.1 52 * Click on the 'main tape' icon
53 * Change the velocity by typing anything from **0.3-3.0 mm/s**
54 * Common velocity is 1.0-1.5 mm/s
55 * kamzik displays the used tape in m and %. At 98% the tape will automatically stop since the rolls need to be exchanged at this point.

ahenkel 19.1 63 The nozzle position can be adjusted in xyz by clicking on the arrows up and down. (Double arrow = 10 steps). Step size can be varied, 1mm steps are rather big and should be used carefully.
ahenkel 17.1 64 The absolute position is **not calibrated** and therefore changes after each restart of kamzik.

68 \\Adjust the nozzle position by eye until it nearly touches the tape and roughly meets the X-ray interaction point. Then, move to the control hutch to use the on-axis microscope for fine adjustment. Move the nozzle tip to the beam position (red X) and write down the absolut nozzle position. From there move the nozzle in +x to your desired distance.Different distances combined with the tape speed result in several delay times for time-resolved experiments.

ahenkel 35.1 147 * Cut the first cm of the new tape roll, directly behind the black sticky part.
148 * Place new roll on roll holder and use sticky tape to attach the end of the old tape to the beginning of the new roll.
149 * Open magnetic tape stabilizer on the **left side**. //!!!BEAMSTOP!!!//
150 * Start the tape (3mm/s). Once the connetion side has arrived at the collector roll, stop the tape (0mm/s).
151 * Again, cut the tape directly behind the connection side. Replace the the old roll with the **empty **one. Old roll can be discarded.
152 * Attach new tape to the empty roll by using some sticky tape.
ahenkel 22.1 153 * Close tape stabilizer.
