SCrAPS
Service Crystallography at Advanced Photon Sources

The purpose of the SCrAPS is to provide a mechanism by which service and academic crystallography laboratories can have access to specialized instrumentation and tunable, high-brilliance synchrotron radiation at national laboratories.

SCrAPS applies on a regular basis via General User Proposals (GUP) for beamtime. If the beamtime request is honored, the various crystallography laboratories involved will pool their samples at IUMSC at Indiana University and the SCrAPS coordinator or interested researchers collect data on the submitted samples and assist in the structure solution and refinement if requested. The data collection can be monitored and data are readily available to the participating remote crystallographers using CIMA web services.

Only samples that cannot be studied with laboratory sources in a crystallographic facility are accepted as SCrAPS submission. The charges involved are minimal and are used to cover travel and accommodation for the crystallographer collecting the samples onsite.
