Space Group Determination ProcedureStandard

Standard operating procedure for space group determination.

Safety ProtocolStandard

Follow field and lab safety protocols specific to crystallography.

  • Calibrate First

    Uncalibrated instruments produce unusable data — verify zero and span before each session.

  • Contamination Control

    Clean workspace between samples to prevent cross-contamination.

  • Chemical Hazards

    Review SDS for all chemicals before use — know spill response procedures.

Safety Notes

  • X-ray sources require authorized operators and beam stop verification.
  • Never bypass interlocks on diffractometer enclosures.
