The following Products and Services are available within our facility:

Instruments

	Vitrobot Mark IV The Vitrobot Mark IV is used for semi-automated cryo-EM sample vitrification, simplifying grid preparation and improving reproducibility. The Vitrobot Mark IV is compatible with unclipped sample grids only.
	Glacios 2 The Glacios 2 cryo-TEM is optimized for high sample and image throughput. The Autoloader accepts as many as 12 sample grids simultaneously, and the EPU and Tomography software allow for rapid screening and configuration of automated data collection.
	F200C Talos F200C cryo-TEM is a side entry microscope suitable for screening of negatively stained samples. The F200C is capable of automated data collection with EPU, tilt series acquisition with the Tomography software, and microED. Without an Autoloader, the F200C is not optimal for cryo-EM sample screening.

Please remember to acknowledge the core in your publications with the following statement:

“[Electron microscopy was carried out in] the UAB Cryo-EM Facility (RRID:SCR_025450), supported by the Institutional Research Core Program and O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center (NIH grant P30 CA013148), with additional funding from NIH grant S10 OD024978.”

Alter the bracketed text and expand abbreviations as needed.

Please also acknowledge CEMF personnel who assist with your work (e.g. “We are grateful to James Kizziah for assisting with the data collection” or similar) and if their involvement is extensive, consider co-authorship.
