Profs. Ron Viola, Max Funk and Tim Mueser, Department of Chemistry, were recently awarded a $1.15 million grant from the Hayes Investment Fund, Ohio Board of Regents, to establish the new Ohio Macromolecular Crystallography Consortium facility.  The new equipment has been purchased and installed in the Instrumentation Center with the Dedication Symposium at the University of Toledo conducted on 23 April 2004.  The new facilities include a Rigaku FR-E high brilliance X-Ray generator with a new Saturn CCD detector and multilayer mirror optics.  A RAXIS detector is configured on a second port from the x-ray generator.  The new crystallization lab includes two Genomic Solutions robotic systems for automated nanoliter crystal screening and a DCA Rhombix crystal imager for automated crystal screen digital photo documentation.
