Launch of the BioXolver: An in-house SAXS instrument

Join the launch of the in-house SAXS apparatus, the BioXolver, which has been developed in a close collaboration between the company SAXSLab, now Xenocs, and the BioSAXS group at the Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology at the University of Copenhagen.

The BioXolver is the result of three years collaboration and is an in-house, fully automated SAXS setup tailormade to fit the needs of a biomolecular research laboratory. You can read more about the instrument at the description of the BIOXolver at the Xenocs homepage.

A BioXolver set-up will be available in the BioSAXS laboratory until the summer 2018, or for longer in case a permanent installation of the instrument is financed. You are very welcome to contact Annette Eva Langkilde (annette.langkilde@sund.ku.dk) or Saskia Bucciarelli (saskia.bucciarelli@sund.ku.dk) if you are interested in setting up a collaboration using the instrument.

The launch will include a presentation of the collaboration, a tour of the instrument and a reception. The launch will take place at 15:00, 11th october 2017 in the Benzon Auditorium, Universitetsparken 2, 2100 Copenhagen. The reception and tours will be from 16:00 in the foyer of building 30, Universitetsparken 2, 2100 Copenhagen.
