APS 14-ID-B (BioCARS)

The Advanced Photon Source
Argonne, IL

The 14-ID-B station is an insertion device station with two in-line undulators (U23 and U27). It supports Laue and time-resolved crystallography, including a serial crystallography approach as well as standard single crystal rotation using MiTeGen MicroLoops with RT capillaries at room temperature, and time-resolved solution scattering. It also supports all standard macromolecular crystallography techniques. 1
