NanoImaging Services is a cryo-EM contract research organization founded in 2007 by Bridget Carragher and Clint Potter, with NIS-WEST at 4940 Carroll Canyon Road, San Diego and NIS-EAST in Woburn, Massachusetts. Across the two sites it operates six TEMs, two Titan Krios and four Glacios, with Vitrobot and chameleon vitrification and over 500 CPU cores, 50 GPUs and six petabytes of storage. It acquired the protein production CRO Proteos in 2025 and offers gene-to-structure, single particle analysis and nanoparticle (LNP, EV, AAV, VLP) characterization services.
Commercial CRO; clients purchase structural biology (gene-to-structure, SPA) and nanoparticle characterization services rather than operating instruments, with pricing by quotation.

Other private providers that run samples
Companies that run cryo-EM as a paid service: you ship a sample, they prepare grids and collect data, and several also process it.
