Abstract

The design of a multipurpose sample cell holder for the high-throughput (HT) beamline B21 is presented. The device is compatible with the robot bioSAXS sample changer currently installed on BM29, ESRF, and P12 Petra IV synchrotrons. This work presents an approach that uses 3D-printing to make hardware alterations which can expand the versatility of HT beamlines at low cost.

Keywords: BioSAXS; high-throughput SAXS; multipurpose sample holders.
