One year IµS with a mardtb in Kiel

Since January 2008 the department of Structure Biology at the Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel has been working with the Incoatec Microfocus Source IµS. Prof. Axel Scheidig and his group use the high-performance combination of Incoatec Microfocus Source IµS and mardtb (Marresearch GmbH) for research purposes.

Axel Scheidig:

"Apart from the superior data quality, it was the prospect of air cooling and low-maintenance which were our main reasons for purchasing the Incoatec Microfocus Source IµS.

We have been using the Incoatec Microfocus Source for a year now, and can confirm that it absolutely meets up to our expectations.
As well as being able to screen the protein crystals in preparation for measurements at the synchrotron, we can also collect entire data sets, which we have released in most recent publications.

During this one year the Incoatec Microfocus Source has been working free from defects and without significant loss in intensity."

Field of research

Prof. Axel Scheidig

Prof. Scheidig´s group carries out studies on enzymatic reaction mechanisms of redox-proteins, phosphatases and DNA-methyl- transferases. A further focus is on the effector proteins of the vesicular transport.   Strukturbiologie am Zentrum für Biochemie und Molekularbiologie

Do you screen protein crystals?

This is only one application for the IµS out of a broad spectrum of applications. Interested in more?
