SwissFEL Biolab

We support serial crystallography experiments at SLS and SwissFEL with sample and injector expertise. Our aim is to help users to make the best out of the available beamtime as we believe a careful preparation is key for a successful experiment.

The facility is run as a user laboratory managed by the Time-resolved crystallography group of the LBR in close collaboration with the Macromolecular crystallization facility and the Alvra group at SwissFEL. External users of the PSI large-scale research facilities and in particular SwissFEL are encouraged to request access through their beamtime applications. For further information on the user lab and available injectors for serial crystallography please use the contact details below.
