This workshop is aimed at a range of users, from experienced users looking for a refresher to new users looking for an introduction to remote access methodologies. The workshop will cover:

  • Sample preparation, a hands-on introduction for newer users
  • Use of ISPyB to set up sample delivery and retrieval
  • Remote data collection (with beam available)
  • Post processing
  • A chance to preview potential new developments
  • Provide a forum for feedback and discussion

Day one will be a mixture of talks and sessions, with an opportunity to discuss updates to future operations, as well as giving attendees a chance for practical, hands-on, experience of preparing samples for shipment.

Day two will be a combination of talks and an opportunity to see the beamline in action conducting sample exchanges and data collection. There will also be a demonstration of some near future developments on I19 and a visit to one of the MX beamlines.
