Welcome to the Core Facilities website for Tufts University and Tufts Medical Center. This page was compiled to assist members of the research community in finding core facilities and shared instrumentation to support their research needs.

Core facilities provide services and technical support while service centers provide products. They are grouped together by campus. The shared instruments describe large pieces of equipment that are available for use by multiple investigators. The levels of service are listed for each core or instrument using the following guidelines:

• Level 1: Fee for full-service facility. User only needs to bring a sample, the facility does the rest.
• Level 2: Do-it-yourself facility with full-time technical support.
• Level 3: Do-it-yourself after intensive supervised training. Occasional trouble-shooting help is provided.
• Level 4: Limited access facility (e.g. users need to be part of a collaborative group, center, or consortium)

Further information about specific core facilities, instruments, and scheduling time and services at these facilities can be found on the individual pages. Feel free to contact the associated person with questions.
