Facility provides quantitative compositional information from top atomic layers of sample surface for the elements lithium to uranium. Core can also obtain information regarding chemical states of any elements present. This facility houses Kratos AXIS Supera+ Spectrometer Unit.

Core offers resources and solutions for conducting genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics and functional genomics projects. We work with researchers to determine project goals and design custom solutions. We assist at all stages of the project, from support in grant development to generation of publication-quality data. Services include Consultations,
Bioinformatics, Nucleic Acids purification, quantification and QC DNA Sequencing (SANGER and NGS), Library Constructions for NGS applications,Microarray Hybridization, Real Time PCR, Custom epigenomics applications, Lentiviral vectors and lentiviruses construction and production, CRIPR-CAS9sgRNAs and RNAi/shRNAs knockdown of individual genes and functional screening of sgRNA and shRNA libraries for target identification.

Electron Microscopy Center at USC is core facility providing all levels of technical support and consultation in area of light microscopy, electron microscopy, and elemental analysis. Provides microscopy and specimen preparation services for biological and materials science research. Offers training and access to all microscopes and ancillary equipmen.
