Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies Awarded Multiple Contracts for State-of-the-Art Accelerator and Synchrotron Instrumentation.Bruker Technologies Advance Research in Structural Biology and Nanomaterials BERGISCH GLADBACH, Germany -- Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies, Inc. (BEST) today announced that its subsidiary Bruker ASC ASC Ambulatory surgery center, see there GmbH in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, has been awarded several significant contracts for state-of-the-art synchrotron synchrotron: see particle accelerator. synchrotron Cyclic particle accelerator in which the particle is confined to its orbit by a magnetic field. The strength of the magnetic field increases as the particle's momentum increases. instrumentation from leading research institutions worldwide. Separate major contracts were signed with the U.S. Department of Energy's SLAC SLAC Stanford Linear Accelerator Center SLAC Student Labor Action Coalition SLAC Scapholunate Advanced Collapse (wrist disorder) SLAC Salt Lake Acting Company (Utah) SLAC Student Learning Assistance Center National Accelerator Laboratory, the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory in Korea, and the University of Lund in Sweden for Bruker ultra-precise X-ray mirror systems, double-crystal monochromators, and a complete synchrotron experimental station, with a total order value of approximately $3.7 million. Dr. Hans-Udo Klein, Vice President for Business Development of BEST, and Managing Director of Bruker ASC GmbH, commented: "We are very pleased that leading global large-scale research facilities have selected Bruker for their cutting-edge, critical research instrumentation in order to advance the life and material sciences." SLAC, located in Stanford, CA (USA), ordered two state-of-the-art Kirkpatrick-Baez mirror systems to be integrated into its Coherent X-Ray Imaging instrument (CXI CXI Common X-Windows Interface (Unix) CXI Color Mixer (Wyron, stage lighting) ) at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS LCLS Linac Coherent Light Source (Stanford linear accerator center) LCLS Lee County Library System (Fort Myers, Florida) ). The CXI instrument aims to image individual biomolecules This page aims to list articles on Wikipedia that describe particular biomolecules or types of biomolecules. This list is not necessarily complete or up to date - if you see an article that should be here but isn't (or one that shouldn't be here but is), please update the page which can not be crystallized, hydrated hy·drat·ed adj. Chemically combined with water, especially existing in the form of a hydrate. Adj. 1. hydrated - containing combined water (especially water of crystallization as in a hydrate) hydrous living cells or nanoparticles. CXI scientist Dr. Sebastian Boutet said: "The CXI instrument could have huge medical and technological consequences. In medicine, it is common for researchers to figure out how diseases work by looking at the structure of the molecules involved. From there, they can figure out how to best attack diseases. Soon, we'll be able to look at the structures of samples never before seen. LCLS is the ultimate microscope." Pohang Accelerator Laboratory placed a contract for two complete cryo-cooled double-crystal monochromators for an upgrade of the Pohang Light Source. Cryo-cooled monochromators are essential instruments to make use of more intense light sources for scientific investigation in a variety of research fields. The Pohang researchers apply Ultra-Small Angle X-ray Scattering (U-SAXS) to investigate proteins and protein folding, as well as polymer blends. The second unit is for X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy The X-ray absorption spectroscopy is currently a widely used technique giving information on the local structure and on the electronic states in gas-phase, molecular and condensed matter. (XAS XAS X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy XAS Experimental Air Specification Weapons ), an essential technique for many applications in materials science. The University of Lund ordered a complete new experimental station to upgrade the existing structural biology facility at MAX-Lab, the Swedish synchrotron radiation facility. This new set-up provides the necessary stability and precision to perform state-of-the-art macromolecular mac·ro·mol·e·cule n. A very large molecule, such as a polymer or protein, consisting of many smaller structural units linked together. Also called supermolecule. crystallography even with very small crystals on the order of a few micrometers. Protein or macromolecular crystallography at synchrotron light sources contributes significantly to protein structure determination, essential for many applications including molecular biology, rational drug design and proteomics. Wolfgang Diete, Director of Bruker's Synchrotron, Beamline & X-Ray Optics business, explained: "These contracts are important milestones for our plans to further grow the synchrotron instrumentation business after our recent acquisition by Bruker. Based on our technological experience, we look forward to bringing these critical instruments into operation to support our international customers in achieving their scientific goals and perhaps even new breakthroughs."
