Why choose eBIC for Industry for your research?

The industry group at Diamond Light Source's electron Bio-Imaging Centre (eBIC) offers bespoke services to industrial clients wishing to learn or de-risk the adoption of cryo-EM in their research projects. By offering flexible access – across different stages of the cryo-EM pipeline - to world-class cryo-EM facilities, eBIC for Industry lowers the barrier to entry for a technique traditionally requiring large capital and training investments.

Situated within the integrated synchrotron environment, our services represent a unique offer to industry. We provide a cross-over between structural techniques like macromolecular crystallography (MX) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) as well as dedicated experts for industry, and streamlined support services. Our team can even provide bespoke on-the job training using your own samples, providing you with actionable insight, whilst also getting to grips with the technique.

Access to dedicated Glacios Cryo-TEM and Krios Cryo-TEMs, at one location enables you to pre-screen samples on the Glacios Cryo-TEM to find the best quality samples before advancing to higher resolution imaging on the Krios Cryo-TEM.
