Research • X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy

This page contains information, tools, forms, and links that support our efforts in biological X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS).

for Prospective Users

• The tutorial titled "X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy of Metallobiomolecules. The Outskirts of Structural Biology" (pdf download) provides a practical introduction to the technique, its utility and limitations, and applications to biological problems.
• Check out our practical guide to XAS Sample Preparation.
• Email if you have questions.

for Our Collaborators

• Here is a guide to XAS Sample Preparation as you generate samples for collaborative studies.
• If you are using our 5-well cuvet, then you should read Submitting Samples in 5-well Cuvets
• If you are using our low-volume 25-well cuvet, then you should read Submitting Samples in 25-well Cuvets
• For each sample you provide, also send an electronic version of our Data Log Form (Word download), with shaded information at the top completed or the 25-Well Cuvet Log Form (Word download).
• When your samples are ready to send, read the detailed Shipping Information.
• Plots of XAS data we collect on your samples are available for download from our password-protected XAS Data Album.
