Synchrotron Trip Page¶

Synchrotron trip page is where you can access synchrotron trip information, assign your crystals to pucks and dewars, and input your synchrotron trip results. It comprises 3 submenus: Synchrotron Trip Info, Synchrotron Trip Results, and Unassigned Crystals.

Synchrotron Trip Info Submenu

Synchrotron Trip Info submenu opens by default when you open a synchrotron trip. It is where you define your synchrotron trip information in the three available sections, Synchrotron Trip Info, Assigned Crystals, and Puck and Dewar Options.

Synchrotron Trip Info Submenu

	Crystal Info Button	Crystal, protein, cryoprotectant, and soaking ingredient information, including note and attachment. Read more in Harvesting Crystals Virtually.
	Puck and Dewar Options Panel	Allows you to fill in the information about the puck and dewar you store the assigned crystal in.
	Puck	Allows you to select the puck you store the crystal in. Selecting a puck will automatically fill in the Style, Barcode, Pin Count, Available, and Position fields.
	Style	Displays the puck style you choose.
	Barcode	Displays the barcode of the selected puck.
	Pin Count	Displays the number of pins in the selected puck.
	Available	Displays the number of unused pins in the puck.
	Position	Displays the pin number of the crystal.
	Dewar	Allows you to select the dewar you store your puck in.
	Puck Count	Displays the number of pucks that can be stored in the dewar.
	Total Pin	Displays the number of pins in the puck.
	Available	Displays the number of unused pins in the puck.
	Top Bar Buttons
	Report	Allows you to generate a synchrotron trip report. Read more on Generating a Synchrotron Trip Report.
	Import	Allows you to import a synchrotron trip info CSV. Read more on …
	Export	Allows you to export a synchrotron trip info CSV. Read more on …
	Save	Allows you to save changes.
	Discard	Allows you to cancel changes.

Synchrotron Trip Results Submenu

Synchrotron Trip Results submenu is where you input the crystal analysis from the synchrotron facilities.

Synchrotron Trip Results Submenu

Number	Field/Section/Button	Description
	ID	Displays the crystal ID. This field is automatically populated by ROCK MAKER.
	Crystal Name	Displays the crystal name.
	Owner	Displays the experiment owner.
	Puck Name	Displays the puck the crystal is in.
	Puck Barcode	Displays the puck’s barcode.
	Position	Displays the pin number of the crystal.
	Dewar	Displays the dewar used.
	Status	Displays the analysis status of the harvested crystal: Complete: complete data is collected. Partial: some data is collected. No Result: no data is collected due to some issues.
	Crystal Result Section	Allows you to fill in the analysis results from the synchrotron facility with:
	Crystal Name Internal	User preferred name for the crystal (if any).
	Date Frozen	This field is automatically populated by ROCK MAKER. It displays the frozen date you set in the Crystal Definition dialog box accessible from the crystal cart.
	Symm/Space Group	3D Symmetry group of the crystal.
	Xtal_run	Program Run number (user-specified)
	Reso_lo/hi_shells	Low and high resolution
	cell	Parameters of the crystal (a, b, c, α, β, γ)
	R, R-free	R-value is the measure of the quality of the atomic model obtained from the crystallographic data. R-free value is calculated by seeing how well the model predicts the observations that were not used in refinement.
	%comp_ell	% completeness (elliptical)
	%comp_sph	% completeness (spherical)
	Crystal Information Section	Displays the crystal information, including the protein, cryoprotectant, soaking ingredients, notes, and attachments. The information is also accessible from the Crystal Definition dialog box in the crystal cart. Each field displays the:
	Crystal ID	Crystal ID
	Crystal Name	Crystal name.
	Project	Experiment’s project.
	Experiment	Experiment where the crystal is in.
	Protein	Protein used in the experiment.
	Owner	Experiment owner.
	Barcode, Well & Drop	Crystal’s experiment barcode, well, and drop.
	Synchrotron Trip	Synchrotron trip you assign the crystal to.
