Laboratories
Labs are available and equipped for biosample preparation and manipulation and final stage sample preparations for LCLS users.
Biolabs at the Arrillaga Science Center
LCLS has advanced sample preparation and characterization labs as part of the Biolabs at the Arrillaga Science Center. Space within these labs can be reserved for preparation and early characterization of samples in preparation for an upcoming beamtime or proposal submission at LCLS, SSRL, or SSCC. The 5,500 square feet of lab space is broken down into BioSafety Level 1 (BSL-1) and BSL-2 envelopes.
Sample Prep Labs
LCLS provides basic wet lab space, called the Sample Prep Labs (SPL), in both the Near and Far Experimental Halls (NEH/FEH) for basic sample preparation and characterization that can be reserved for before or during LCLS beamtimes.
Injector Characterization Lab
Located between the Near and Far experimental halls, the Injector Characterization Laboratory serves as a setup area, testing, and training space for sample delivery. The laboratory also serves as the stockroom for sample delivery components and hardware.
