Supplementary Information

・ Protocol use is available in two types : technical consultation and collaborative research. Costs arise from the use of NIMS (or other institutions’) equipment/software and operator labor. Fees vary depending on equipment scale, duration, and usage scheme. As a guideline, collaborative research typically requires around 3 million JPY or more per work unit*.
*:A unit may range from less than one week to several sessions over six months, depending on complexity.

・ Please note that immediate support may not always be possible due to researcher, operator, or machine‑time availability.
