About Cryo-EM & Structural Biology in Iowa
Iowa is home to research institutions with cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), 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 for structural biology and proteomics research.
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 cryo-EM and mass spectrometry services with dedicated support.
