Who We Are

Our four laboratories, located across UB's three campuses, enable cost-effective access to a unique suite of advanced scientific and engineering equipment and instrumentation. All are available for shared use by:

• UB students
• UB faculty
• Researchers at other academic institutions
• Government
• Industry

Additionally, our qualified staff is available to assist you with hands-on training, technical support, and project consultation to meet your needs. Fees are charged on an hourly basis.

Collaborating laboratories include both a cleanroom and materials characterization laboratories. These are:

• Two Shared Instrumentation Laboratories jointly developed by the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), both located on UB's North Campus:
  
  
  • Davis Hall Electrical Engineering Cleanroom
    
  • Furnas Hall Materials Characterization Laboratory
    
• South Campus Instrument Center (SCIC): materials characterization lab

UB's Science and Engineering Equipment and Instrumentation Portal (EQUIP) of Shared Facilities aims to advance the scope and quality of the equipment and instrumentation available for leading edge research at UB, consolidate equipment investments within these facilities, and equip the labs with qualified technical support for training, operations and maintenance.

Facilities enhance the student educational experience, create a climate for interdisciplinary studies, and stir mutually-beneficial collaborations with the public and private sectors to advance economic opportunities in the Buffalo Niagara region and New York State.
