I03 is one of five macromolecular crystallography (MX) beamlines at Diamond. I03 is a tuneable beamline with a working wavelength range of 0.6 - 2.48 Å. The standard working wavelength is 0.976 Å (12.7 keV) with a focused beam size of 80 x 20 um (FWHM). As with all the MX beamlines, I03 uses SPINE standard pins and Unipucks for cryo-cooled samples. I03 also offers in situ experiments using SBS format plates.

I03 can provide containment measures for experiments involving biological agents in Hazard Groups 2 and 3.

Features include:

• In-situ data collection
• Containment for Hazard Group 2 and Hazard Group 3 biological agents
• Apertures (20, 50 or 100 µm for cryo samples; 10, 30, 100 µm for in-situ experiments) .
• Rigaku ACTOR sample changer - 10 Unipucks / 160 samples
• Pilatus 6M-F
• Vortex fluorescence detector
• Automated data processing
• Possibility to focus at sample position or at detector
• Remote access
