5 5  (% style="color: rgb(51,51,51);text-decoration: none;" %)If samples are already in pucks and brought to the beamline in liquid nitrogen as protein crystals in loops, it is adequate to declare 'protein crystals' 'number of crystals' and 'harmless or toxic'. In case of toxic, please specify which component is toxic and location of the sample. (%%)
6 6  (% style="color: rgb(51,51,51);text-decoration: none;" %)Other types of samples should be declared for the name of each substance, amount in ml and concentration for both the beamline and the lab, if selected to use. If you are uncertain how to proceed, please ask the beamline staff, we will forward your question to the safety managers or flag your declaration to be checked by the safety managers, who will comment if any additional actions are needed.

Please use the form provided there, or other type of clear labelling, even if you bring the dewar to the rack yourself. Ideally, the dewar should be delivered before 08:30 on the morning of your experiment, to allow us to load all the pucks of the day into the sample changer in the morning. By default, all dewars in our rack will be refilled on Mondays and Fridays. Dewars should be cleared off from our rack within a reasonable time, a few days. in case the pucks can be thawed after the experiment, please let the LC know and preferably provide a container for removing the pucks.

10 10  (% style="color: rgb(51,51,51);text-decoration: none;" %)Beamline is scheduled twice a year, usually at the end of May and end of December. At this time, the beamtime Door invitations got to users with regular proposals, BAG coordinators, LTP coordinators and priority access users reserve dates that are blocked for all users of their proposal type. To secure the wished time slot, the reservation should be made as soon as possible. If the reserved slots are not taken 6 weeks prior to the beamtime, they will be assigned to users in overbooking queue or offered to anyone wanting beamtime (e.g. with short term proposals). If we get constant cancellations, we recommend not to make bookings, but approach us when the crystals are there. Occasional cancellations are fine, it's the benefit of everyone do cancel as soon as possible, if you cannot make use of the allocated time.

The beamtimeID is necassary to nagivate to the correct folder in the storage system. The ID is also presented in Door as the application number. On the main page of general user, there is a tab towards the bottom of the page with 'your previous Door activities' and 'Door archive'.

However, the latter can be achieved by logging into the Maxwell cluster with scientific account (not Door-account). To bring up Albula: type in a terminal window: module load albula. Load the files from path: /asap3/petra3/gpfs/p11/2023/data/beamtimeID/raw/... To bring up the xdsapp autoprocessing results, navigate to /asap3/petra3/gpfs/p11/2023/data/beamtimeID/processed either in terminal window (then type firefox index.html) or with the icons (click on file index.html, it will pop-up the display in a browser.

If users loose their beamtime due to problems on the beamline, this can usually be replaced within a week.
