Equipment at SwissFEL Biolab

There are two user laboratories at SwissFEL, the main SwissFEL chemistry lab and the SwissFEL dark room. 

The SwissFEL chemistry lab has plumbed supplies of nitrogen, helium and compressed air. There are two fume-hoods  and a sink with deionised water as well as an Elga Pure unit. The lab houses a 4°C cold room with access to a -20°C freezer. There is an incubator kept at 20°C for biological crystal samples and an additional oven that can be used for higher temperature requirements from 20°C to 300°C  

The SwissFEL dark room has a two-door system and can be darkened completely, it also has an air-conditioning unit which can be used to control the temperature of the room to 20°C. 

For further details and availability please contact Emma Beale.
