CryoEM Services is a free, publicly accessible online directory that aggregates information about cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) core facilities, equipment, vendors, and commercial service providers in the United States. The Site provides links to external institutional and vendor websites to help researchers locate and compare available resources.

3. Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to keep information current but do not guarantee its accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. Facility details such as equipment availability, pricing, and access policies change frequently. Users should always verify information directly with the relevant institution or vendor before making decisions.

4. Third-Party Links & Affiliations

The Site contains links to third-party websites, including university core facilities, equipment manufacturers, and commercial cryo-EM service providers. Some of these links may be affiliate links, meaning we may receive a commission if you make a purchase or inquiry through them, at no additional cost to you.
