Preparing for Upcoming Beamtime
Before your beamtime, login to MxLIVE and create a shipment representing the samples you will be sending to the CLS. Some tips for preparing your MxLIVE shipment:
- give your shipment a unique name so you can reference it again later
- enter the labels on the containers (Uni-Pucks or Cassettes) that you will be sending to the beamline
- add samples once your shipment is created; only fill containers with samples that are physically present,
- when your samples are shipped, click "Send" in MxLIVE so beamline staff know to expect your shipment.
You can update your shipment's tracking number even after you have sent it, using the "Recall" button on your sent shipment's page. If you've made a mistake and your shipment hasn't been received at the beamline yet, you can unsend the shipment, make your changes, and send it again.
