What we offer

Services

Unlock the fundamentals of your protein. We tackle targets that are difficult to crystalize – including large assemblies or membrane proteins.

Lipid Nanoparticle Characterization

Our AI-powered solutions offer unprecedented quantitative data into the morphology of lipid nanoparticles. Cryo-EM offers observable results, something impossible with indirect methods like Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). This combination enables robust formulation and forced degradation studies.

Why ATEM

The Answer You Need, When Your Program Demands IT

ATEM is a specialist cryo-EM CRO working exclusively in biologics, LNPs, AAV vectors & antibody programs.

Unlike generalist providers, we deliver decision-ready answers to the specific question blocking your next developtment milestones.

Why teams choose ATEM:

Fast & Affordable

Our workflows are engineered around the client’s program timeline. Fit-for-purpose scoping means clients are not paying for analysis beyond what their question requires. 

Precise Structural Insights 

We work exclusively in biologics. That exclusivity is not a limitation, it is the source of the precision that generalist providers cannot match.

Decision-Ready Output 

Every engagement ends with a panel-ready, decision-ready answer to the specific question your discovery campaign brought.

Regulatory & Scientific Credibility 

Our team of experts is the backbone of our GMP-certified operations, which enables us to deliver outputs that withstand both regulatory scrutiny and scientific peer review.
