Caltech MC 139-74 1200 E. California Blvd. Pasadena, CA 91125The X-Ray Crystallography Facility (XRCF) in the Beckman Institute (BI) at Caltech obtains X-ray diffraction data from crystalline materials and determines the structures of small molecules from single-crystal diffraction data. Our primary objective is to provide complete crystal structure analysis of small molecules, ranging from simple organic compounds to complex organometallic molecules, for the Caltech community and surrounding institutions. The facility provides the appropriate equipment and computing facilities for obtaining the diffraction data and determining structures. The XRCF is equipped with three Bruker single crystal diffractometers. A Bruker AXS KAPPA APEXII four-circle diffractometer using Mo radiation from a sealed-tube X-ray generator or a Bruker AXS D8 VENTURE four-circle diffractometer using either Mo or Cu radiation from ImuS micro-sources. Both are equipped with Oxford Cryosystems crystal cooling system. Data are routinely collected at 100K unless otherwise dictated by the experiment. A third Bruker three-circle diffractometer with a SMART 1000 CCD detector is available for room temperature data collection. Several computers are available with the complete suite of Bruker AXS software for data processing, structure solution, least-squares refinement, and report production. Crystallographic database searching is provided on-line through the Caltech Library and is remotely accessible to users from other computers. In addition to the three diffractometers, the facility is equipped with a PerkinElmer 2400 Series II CHN Elemental Analyzer for bulk sample analysis of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen content in organic and organometallic compounds.
The Contract Research Map is owned and maintained by Scientist.com. It was created to help researchers in the life sciences identify and connect with contract research organizations (CROs) based on geography. Updated nightly, this map features all of the available CROs within our network, so you can order services with a few clicks. Click on a specific country, scroll on the map itself or type into the search bar at the top—there are many ways to find the location and suppliers that you’re looking for. From Argentina to New Zealand, use this map to connect with a CRO near you.
We believe that every researcher across the world should be able to connect with the thousands of global CROs that exist and have the opportunity to work together. Like many industries,the life science supply chain has been disrupted over the last year. But there are many other circumstances such as international customs regulations or sensitive shipping times that create limitations around which countries are feasible to partner with. Sometimes, finding a CRO based in a country that best suits your research needs is imperative. We hope this contract research map allows you to find the right partner in the right place at the right time.
