  • Close coordination with Director of Cryo-EM Microscopy Facility, Chen Xu, UMass user groups and specialty subcontractors to create the highly specialized environment.
  • Calculated construction approach to achieve precise controls for vibration, acoustics and climate control to protect the equipment
  • Unique construction of eight-layered walls measuring two feet in thickness to protect the microscopes Tipico promo Codeand the immediately adjacent support spaces to ensure accurate results

The construction of a state-of-the-art Cryo-Electron Microscopy Facility (Cryo-EM) for UMass Medical School is the first-of-its-kind in New England. The Cryo-EM is able to process images of particles at near-atomic level and is playing a critical role in identifying likely therapeutic approaches to a broad range of diseases, particularly neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s, immunological disorders and diabetes.

The 2,000 sq. ft. microscopy suite hosts the facility’s two microscopes: the sophisticated Titan Krios and versatile Talos-Arctica. The suite was built with round-the-clock remote monitoring systems to detect degree variations by the hour. The walls, which are key to maintaining the strict controls, measure tipico sportsbook reviewstwo feet in thickness. They contain six-inch wooden studs to absorb vibration; seamlessly welded aluminum panels on thick plywood, which is essential to protect from electromagnetic interference. They are also constructed with acoustical drywall; foam acoustical panels; and special cooling panels custom-designed by our in-house carpentry team. Managing smoke and odors produced by the high-quality welding necessary during construction required special mitigation and ventilation measures.
