External use of KI’s core facilities

3D-EM is a core facility for high-end biomedical electron microscopy, equipped with (cryo) TEMs, cryo FIB-SEM, cryo confocal, plunge freezing, and high-pressure freezing instruments for single particle analysis and tomography. 3D-EM is located at KI Campus Solna.

At the Electron Microscopy Core Facility (EMil) we help researchers to solve biological questions using both transmission and scanning electron microscopy techniques at highest international level. We routinely perform resin embedding, sectioning, low temperature embedding and electron microscopy of various types of specimen. EMiL is located at Karolinska University Hospital, Huddinge.

Histocore is a histological and immunohistochemical core facility that provides expertise and equipment for histology, immunohistochemistry, and RNAscope. Our services include routine cryo- and paraffin sectioning of tissues from both animal and human sources, as well as organoids. We frequently assist in conceptualization, planning, establishment and optimization of histological, immunohistochemical and spatial approaches tailored to the unique requirements of each project. Histocore is located in Biomedicum, KI Campus Solna.

KCTT vid Karolinska Institutet provides services in the field of mouse transgenic technologies and related areas.

KI Biobank is a modern and high-tech infrastructure for pre-analytical handling, storage and distribution of human biological samples. We provide services for collection, handling, storage and traceability of biobank samples and support customers both within and outside of Karolinska Institutet. KI Biobank is located at KI Campus Solna.

ARG is included in the Division of Imaging Core Facilities (Department of Clinical Neuroscience) and is part of the Centre for Imaging Research (CIR). We will help you with autoradiography (in vitro & ex vivo) and radioligand binding assays (cultured cells or tissue homogenates), using short- or long-lived radiotracers, for different types of projects, e.g. target-specificity, binding affinity, drug screening. ARG is located in BioClinicum, Akademiska Stråket, Solna.

BMIC is a core facility for molecular imaging of the brain using Positron Emission Tomography (PET). BMIC and is part of the Centre for Imaging Research (CIR) and is located in BioClinicum, Akademiska Stråket, Solna.

The MR Center handles the Magnetic Resonance research capacity at the Neuroradiology Clinic. It is equipped with a 3 Tesla GE SIGNA Premier, owned by Karolinska Institutet thanks to a generous donation from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation in 2010. The MR Center is part of the Centre for Imaging Research (CIR) and is located in BioClinicum, Akademiska Stråket, Solna.

NatMEG is a national infrastructure, available for researchers from all across Sweden. It is the first and only core facility in Sweden for whole-head measurements of neuronal brain activity using magnetoencephalography (MEG). NatMEG is part of the Centre for Imaging Research (CIR) and is located at KI Campus Solna.

Pre-GMP ensures safe and efficient translation of Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) from the research laboratory to clinical application. Pre-GMP is located in ANA Futura, KI Ca,pus Flemingsberg.

RCF is a collaborative core facility between Karolinska University Hospital and Karolinska Institutet. Its primary goal is to support and advance the use and development of radiotracers in translational research across various fields, including oncology, psychiatry, neurodegeneration, inflammation, and cardiovascular diseases. RCF is part of the Centre for Imaging Research (CIR) and is located in BioClinicum, Akademiska Stråket, Solna.

Small Molecule Mass Spectrometry (KI-SMMS) can assist with expert knowledge in metabolism, experimental design, and data analysis. Whether you need to perform metabolomics, lipidomics, targeted fluxomics or other types of LC-MS based experiments, we can customize our methods to your research goals and questions. Let us enhance your research with the power of targeted mass spectrometry. KI-SMMS is located in Biomedicum, KI Campus Solna.

STR is an (inter)national resource and data from the registry can become available to academic and industry-based researchers. Founded in 1961, STR covers all same-sex twin births since 1886, and all twin births (same and opposite-sex) since 1926. STR is located at KI Campus Solna.
