The IUMSC is one of the leading service crystallography laboratories in the world. It has acquired an international reputation for its work in crystallographic techniques, including low temperature crystallography and remote instrument access. Local equipment includes a SMART6000 CCD instrument, an R-Axis imaging plate system, four conventional four-circle diffractometers, and a powder diffractometer. In addition, the IUMSC operates the SCrAPS program which provides access to instruments at the national synchrotron sources. An on-going project of the center is the establishment of a molecular structure database (Reciprocal Net) for the National Science Digital Library (NSDL). The IUMSC serves as the central portal for the project that currently includes fourteen crystallography facilities located at university and national laboratories. Nearly three thousand structures are currently accessibly from the web site. Collaboration with scientists outside the university is encouraged.
