Sample preparation and delivery at the European XFEL Facility — •Sadia Bari1, Charlotte Uetrecht1,2, and Joachim Schulz1 — 1European XFEL GmbH, Notkestraße 85, 22607 Hamburg, Germany — 2Molecular Biophysics, Uppsala University, Husargatan 3, 75124 Uppsala, Sweden
The ultrashort, high-intensity X-rays of the European XFEL will enable new science with a wide range of potential samples delivered in various forms into diverse environments. Providing the delivery methods and target systems that allow such a variety of samples to be studied using the fast repetition rate and high peak intensity of the European XFEL is the job of the Sample Environment group.
Sample delivery methods that are planned and in preparation will be introduced and discussed; for example a liquid jet primarily used in nano-crystallography and an aerodynamic lens optimised for single particle imaging of e.g. aerosols and viruses. But also the options for fixed targets and their challenges like fast sample exchange, control of temperature and sample orientation will be presented.
