AUTOMATED SAMPLE MOUNTING SYSTEM

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 作为我们光束线持续升级的一部分，ALS机器人安装在8BM。 在分析了市场上所有可用的机器人后，ALS机器人是基于其简单性、成本、经过验证的性能和用户社区而被选择的，该机器人位于美国的同步加速器，致力于这款机器人的研发 该机器人于2005年11月安装，成功通过了液氮温度下99%成功安装的验收标准。 该演示是与劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室（LBNL）工程部门的开发人员一起进行的。 在过去的四个月里，机器人在液氮温度下进行了广泛的测试，连续安装/拆卸样品针。 到目前为止，它已经安装和安装了近2000次，错误率约为1%。 杜瓦瓶可容纳64个样品，其中16个样品在四个圆盘中。 通过从所有四个圆盘中挑选销来完成测试。在测试过程中，杜瓦瓶的结冰程度最低。 2006年3月，成功地进行了使用溶菌酶晶体的实际测试。 目前，机器人由LBNL提供的软件控制。 这控制晶体安装和抛光。 采用“Click and Center”协议进行晶体定心，并通过“Blu-Ice”软件进行数据采集。 计划在不久的将来将这两个方案结合起来。计划在不久的将来将这两个方案结合起来。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. As a part of the continuing upgrade of our beamlines, the ALS robot was installed at 8BM. After analyzing all the available robots in the market, the ALS robot was chosen based on its simplicity, cost, proven performance and a community of users, located at synchrotrons in the U.S., committed to the development of this robot. The robot was installed in November 2005 after successfully passing an acceptance criteria of 99% successful mounts at liquid nitrogen temperatures. This demonstration was conducted in conjunction with the developers at the Engineering division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). During the last four months, the robot was tested extensively at liquid nitrogen temperature by mounting/dismounting the sample pins continuously. So far it has mounted and dismounted pins close to 2000 times with an error rate of about 1%. The dewar can accommodate 64 samples with 16 samples in four pucks. The testing was done by picking the pins from all the four pucks. There was minimum icing of the dewar during the testing. In March 2006, actual testing using lysozyme crystals was carried out successfully. At the present time the robot is controlled by LBNL supplied software. This controls crystal mounting and dismounting. The crystal centering using "Click and Center" protocol and data collection are carried out through "Blu-Ice" software. Integration of the two programs is planned for the near future. Integration of the two programs is planned for the near future.
