UC San Diego recharge core in Bonner Hall 1510 (9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla), directed by Mariusz Matyszewski, supporting single-particle and tomographic cryo-EM. It operates a 300 keV Titan Krios G4 (Falcon 4, Selectris X) and a Titan Krios G3 (Gatan K3, BioContinuum, Volta phase plates), a 100 kV Tundra for screening, an SPT Labtech chameleon, a Vitrobot and manual plunger, a Safematic carbon coater, EMS 100 glow discharge and Solarus II plasma cleaner. Internal Krios time is $85.42/hour.
Services page says consultation, freezing and screening services are offered to internal and external users; posted rates are for UCSD users only and external users are told to contact the facility manager.
