Welcome to the Tufts University Core Facility website. The facility works to provide quick and convenient services to scientists from both academia and industry. Our ongoing scientific relationships with technical consultants associated with the major instrument companies; our many contacts in the academic world and our hands-on experience, enable us to provide research scientists with reliable products and results.

Established in 1987 under the direction of Michael Berne, the facility has grown from a one-man operation to a team of six, with experience in both academic and industrial research. The Core Facility has become an integral part of the on-going research performed at Tufts and 95% of our customers have been referrals by researchers who have used the services of the facility over the years.

We currently offer the services listed to the left. Our facility, instruments and computer software are constantly upgraded to meet the challenging needs of the research scientist. Our primary goal is to provide quality performance and experienced support, both through our products and our people.
