BioPACIFIC MIP SAXS Facility | Equivalent to a Second-Generation Synchrotron

Описание: The BioPACIFIC MIP small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) Facility is a cutting-edge platform instrument for large length scale (~1nm-1000nm) nanostructure characterization of a broad range of bio-inspired materials. The instrument has been custom designed and constructed at UCSB to provide the most advanced capabilities for laboratory SAXS, using the brightest liquid metal jet laboratory X-ray source and the largest, most sensitive hybrid pixel photon counting 2D detector. In many key aspects, the performance of the BioPACIFIC MIP SAXS is comparable to a second-generation synchrotron SAXS, thus enabling laboratory based rapid-turnaround/high-throughput SAXS and WAXS data collection to meet the demand of the large research community at BioPACIFIC MIP.

The NSF BioPACIFIC MIP operates a one of a kind user facility dedicated to creating a nexus for synthetic biology and materials to revolutionize high-performance polymers. Users are uniquely able to elucidate biomaterial structure and function to achieve materials-by-design, construct new bio-derived functional monomers from living organisms, access novel sequence-specific materials (e.g. peptoids), synthesize stimuli-responsive “smart” biomaterials, scale-up biomaterial production, and
incorporate state-of-the-art theoretic simulation and machine learning algorithms.
