Cryo-EM helps you visualize never-before-seen structures of all sizes at a near-atomic level, giving you an exceptional advantage in the race to create more effective drugs. These service options offer practical resources so you can get fast, reliable cryo-EM results tailored to the biopharmaceutical industry and build the confidence you need to start solving your structures.
The service centers include contract research organizations (CRO) that offer three levels of service to accommodate your needs and support you every step of the way:
- Starter Kit (Level 1): Determine if cryo-EM is right for your sample
- Explore (Level 2): Obtain 3D structural insights for your project
- Impact (Level 3): Apply cryo-EM to multiple project
In using these services, you’ll also learn cryo-EM basics and theory through one-on-one sessions with experts at the service centers.
Structural biologists increasingly turn to cryo-EM to understand challenging biological proteins that are hard to crystalize. Thermo Fisher Scientific connects you to world-class facilities where you can advance your research by obtaining cryo-EM structures and proof of concept data for cryo-EM using your own samples.
Most facilities have an application form that will guide you through proposal requirements. Although the requirements vary by facility, generally you can expect to submit a research proposal for independent scientific and technical evaluation that speaks to the following:
- Scientific background and project significance
- Technical suitability and feasibility including descriptions of the sample and sample quality
Individual facilities also offer different levels of service, which may include sample prep, grid screening, and cryo-EM training.
