Service Overview |
|
 |
The facility provides three modes of technical support: basic, advance, and collaboration (technical R&D). User may make a note for the support if needed when submitting an application online. However, if requests are overloaded for staffs, only Basic support will be provided. |

Experiment Workflow |
|
To increase effectiveness of obtaining high resolution structure data, it is recommended to sequentially apply the equipment. |
● |
CEM1 is an electron microscope operating under room temperature. CEM2/3/4 are different ranks of CRYO-electron microscopes, and Vitrobot is the equipment for sample preparation. |
● |
Before using Vitrobot, users need to take training courses and obtain certification. Certified users can independently use the facility during working days from Monday to Friday, excluding national and public holidays. |
● |
Please select the most suitable instrument according to the sample characteristics. For consultation, please contact us via cryoem@gate.sinica.edu.tw. |
