FACILITIES - X-ray Crystallography Center, Emory University
The X-ray lab has two state-of-the-art instruments: a
Bruker SMART APEX CCD and a SMART 1000
CCD/Hi-STAR dual-detector diffractometer. 
Both diffractometers are
sealed tube instruments with Oxford Cryostream low temperature systems and are
controlled by NT/PC’s running the Bruker suite of programs – SMART, SAINT,
GADDS, FRAMBO, ASTRO, etc. The SMART APEX instrument has a Mo tube, while
the SMART 1000 instrument is a Cu X-ray system. Both instruments have
Monocap X-ray beam intensifiers and the SMART 1000 system has a Hi-STAR area
detector as well for powder diffraction, thin-film and fiber X-ray experiments.
SMART APEX SMART 1000
In addition, the lab has a full compliment of NT PC’s with all the
necessary software for structure solution, graphics and publication and the NIST
and Cambridge Crystallographic data files. In addition to the director of the X-ray Crystallography Center, a service
instructor, Xikui Fang, is available to assist in any of the functions of the Center.
NSF Grant #CHE-9974864 helped purchase the SMART APEX and NIH Grant #S10-RR13673 was used toward the purchase of the SMART 1000.
