Sample

The capillary-flow, high-throughput plate, and shutterless HTFly sample stages, and the syringe sample-delivery pump that flows solution through the beam.

Enclosure: xfp-endstation.

Note

XFP runs several sample-delivery modes. The capillary-flow stage flows a solution sample through the beam; the high-throughput stage positions a 96-well plate; the HTFly stage sweeps a fly-cell through the beam at a set velocity so the exposure (dose) is the slit width over the stage velocity (HT-1). All bind LinearStage. The syringe / sample-delivery pumps bind the graduated catalog FlowController Family (the i22 / 7-BM / LIX precedent); XFP is its fourth consumer, and FlowController graduated on this rule-of-three (i22 / 7-BM / LIX / XFP). The fraction collector that captures footprinted aliquots into tubes, the pure-Python 96-well plate addressing (no robot, no PV), and the solution Subject are the sample-custody and offline-readout seam, not devices here (FC-1, HT-1, SUBJECT-1).

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
CapillaryFlowStage LinearStage XF:17BMA-ES:1{Stg:5-Ax:X}Mtr the capillary-flow sample stage (x / y, 100 mm travel) that places a flowing solution capillary in the beam; an ES:1 three-axis table positions auxiliary sample hardware (SAMPLE-1) new confirm
HighThroughputStage LinearStage XF:17BMA-ES:2{Stg:7-Ax:X}Mtr the high-throughput sample stage (x / y, 200 mm travel) that positions a 96-well plate; the well / slot addressing is pure Python plus a coordinate table, no robot and no PV, modelled as a Procedure over the spine plus a Subject custody thread (HT-1) new confirm
HtFlyStage LinearStage XF:17BMA-ES:2{HTFly:1-Ax:X}Mtr the shutterless high-throughput fly stage that sweeps a fly-cell row through the beam; the exposure (dose) is the defining-slit gap over the stage velocity, not a shutter, so the dose-timing is in the Procedure not a device (HT-1, DOSE-1) new confirm
DeliveryPump FlowController XF:17BMA-ES:1{Pmp:02} the sample-delivery syringe pump (an M50 pump with velocity / volume / slew setpoints, driving the dose-response / fraction-collection mode; a second PHD2000 infusion pump at XF:17BM-ES:1{Pmp:01} drives the capillary-flow / time-resolved mode) flowing solution through the capillary or flow cell during irradiation; both bind the graduated catalog FlowController Family (presents Regulator) and are folded into this one Asset at this cut, XFP its fourth consumer, with FlowController graduated on the i22 / 7-BM / LIX / XFP rule-of-three (FLUID-1 keeps the wider fluidic chain in the ControlPort seam) new confirm
