The Molecular Education, Technology and Research Innovation Center (METRIC) is an NC State University-wide Shared Core Research Facility administered by the Office of Research and Innovation. We provide internal and external researchers with access to instrumentation and technical expertise across three primary analytical platforms:

Mass Spectrometry: Supports qualitative and quantitative analyses, including high-resolution accurate mass (HRAM) measurements, proteomics, metabolomics, and small molecule analysis.

Magnetic Resonance (NMR & EPR): Provides structural and dynamic characterization of molecules in solution. Capabilities include multi-nuclear solution-state NMR and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy for studying paramagnetic species, transition metal complexes, and free radicals.

X-Ray Diffraction: Offers atomic-level structural determination. The facility is equipped for single-crystal X-ray diffraction of both small molecules (including absolute configuration determination) and macromolecules/proteins.

Established in 2000, the mission of the Genomic Sciences Laboratory (GSL) is to enable discovery in the biological sciences by providing researchers and students with the necessary cutting-edge equipment and infrastructure required to conduct advanced genomics research. The GSL operates as a solution center and provides NC State researchers, collaborators, and the broader scientific community with access to high-throughput DNA sequencing, traditional Sanger sequencing and genotyping, and additional equipment services for functional genomic assays and mapping. The GSL also provides high-throughput robotics and instrumentation to facilitate the handling of large numbers of samples, as well as many advanced sequencing and sequencing support applications developed independently by NC State faculty. The GSL is administered by the Office of Research and Innovation at NC State and operates on a fee-recovery basis.

The Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting (FCCS) Core Facility at the NC State University College of Veterinary Medicine provides provides flow cytometry services to the entire NC State University community as well as external partners in the area. Experienced staff members will help with experimental design, instrument training, sample acquisition, data analysis with software provided, and conventional/spectral cell sorting. Please do not hesitate in reaching out to us with any questions regarding the available resources and how we can support your work

North Carolina State University (NCSU) Plant Transformation Laboratory (PTL) provides innovative solutions, technologies, expertise, training, and services for research and applications related to plant transformation. The PTL staff and facilities are available for research collaborations; core resources are available for user-driven projects with cost recovery; fee-based plant transformation services can be provided for the NCSU community and external partners.

High Performance Computing Services, available through the NC State Office of Information Technology (OIT), provides entry and intermediate level computing resources and consulting support for research and instruction. The Hazel HPC Cluster at NC State consists of a set of 992 heterogeneous compute nodes, 4 log-in nodes, a dedicated LSF scheduler node, license servers, and storage servers.
