Preparing for a Mail In Experiment
Mail-in experiments encompass our easy, rapid and joint-ISIS experiments. All of these experiments have been deemed suitable for beamline staff to run due to being either simple room temperature or standard temperature experiments.
The user office will send emails about booking travel and accommodation, please disregard these and not book either if your experiment is any of the above routes. If in doubt, please email your local contact or xpdf@diamond.ac.uk
For all of the mail-in experiments, you will be contacted by the beamline team with a form in which you can request the capillary size, type, and material. Information of capillaries can be found here, and we specify that you only use beamline supplied capillaries. We will then dispatch them to your specified address for you to fill in your home lab using our handy instructions.
Your experiment will then be run in the next allocated mail-in period. Once your experiment has been run, your local contact will check data quality and then inform you that the data is available. You can access them through these routes. Once you have checked your data, you samples will be removed from the beamline, what happens to your samples post-experiment can be found here.
