Center for Crystallographic Studies

Analytical services provided using single crystal x-ray diffraction.

Harvard Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology

Manager and Lecturer: Dr. Douglas M. Ho

The laboratory was formed to support and operate the two CCD difraction Systems for Single Crystal Diffraction" delivered from Bruker-AXS. The instruments are equipped with a low temperature device. The laboratory is operated and maintained by a full time crystallographer. The Laboratory is housed in Bauer B06.

The laboratory is a full service facility, able to determine the three dimensional structure of molecules and solids from single crystal samples. The laboratory is equiped with Two PC's, and a microscope which is used for routine mounting (see Laboratory Instrumentation).

Announcing the new D8 platform APEX II diffractometer.

Harvard's Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology has just had installed a state of the art APEX II detector as part of a brand New Bruker-AXS single crystal System.
