BioSAXS at European Synchrotron Radiation Facility – Extremely Brilliant Source: BM29 with an upgraded source, detector, robot, sample environment, data collection and analysis software

As part of its Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS) upgrade project, the ESRF’s BioSAXS BM29 beamline was subject to a significant upgrade. Its bending magnet source was replaced by a two-pole wiggler, and a larger hybrid-pixel detector, a new sample changer and improved sample exposure cells were also installed and commissioned. Additionally, nearly all beamline software, including that for experiment control and data analysis, was renewed. Here the current status of the beamline is described, including new opportunities post-ESRF–EBS.
