About Research Facilities in California
California is home to multiple research institutions offering cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and mass spectrometry core services. These shared-use facilities provide academic researchers and industry partners access to instruments like the Thermo Fisher Titan Krios, Glacios, Orbitrap mass spectrometers, and Bruker timsTOF systems.
External researchers can access many of these facilities through institutional service agreements, with rates varying by instrument and user type. For researchers needing faster turnaround, private Contract Research Organizations (CROs) offer expedited services with dedicated support.
