Sample Submission, Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction

Samples for single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis from Purdue users should be submitted using the Purdue iLab web interface. Navigate to the X-ray Crystallography Laboratory page on the list of Core Facilities. Click the "Request Services" tab and select "Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction" ("Self Run" for trained users, "Service Request" for samples to be run by facility staff).

Non-Purdue users, please fill out a single crystal submission form (Word) and contact the crystallographer.

Sample preparation: Please carefully read and follow the sample preparation guidelines. 

The laboratory is designed to provide high quality single crystals X-ray data, usually within 48 hours to a few days of submission. Learn more
