3Rs Centre Utrecht

Utrecht University

The mission of the 3Rs Centre Utrecht (3RCU) is to reduce the use of laboratory animals in research and education. To do so, we follow the three Rs of Replacement, Reduction and Refinement (in Dutch: 3Vs of Vervanging, Vermindering en Verfijning), with a primary focus on Replacement.

Cellular Screening Technologies

Utrecht Science Park

The UMC Utrecht Cellular Screening Technologies platform helps translate pre-clinical cellular disease models into reliable clinical tools. It offers expert consultancy and advanced solutions for standardizing, automating, and scaling up general high-throughput cellular screening.

Centre for Cell Imaging (CCI)

Utrecht University

High-end fluorescence Microscopy at the faculty of Veterinary Medicine

Find your Antibodies facilities

Find facilities specialized in antibody development, production, validation and application. These capabilities support biomedical research, diagnostics, targeted therapies and functional studies.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Facility

Utrecht Science Park

The induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) facility at UMC Utrecht offers services for generation and characterization of iPSC lines from patient blood or tissue samples using Sendai reprogramming. The facility also provides iPSC differentiations into various cell types and generation of 3D microtissues for in vitro disease modelling.

Innovation Lab (iLab)

Utrecht Science Park

Startups, SMEs, corporates, and public organizations can bring ideas to life at iLab. It connects education, research, and industry, fostering collaboration, hands-on innovation, and early-stage technology development with real-world impact. With ISO-certified labs, advanced equipment, and access to multidisciplinary teams, iLab makes prototyping, testing, and validating concepts easy.

Ombion Centre for Animal-free Biomedical Translation

Utrecht Science Park

Ombion Centre for Animal-Free Biomedical Translation is a centre for valorisation and dissemination of animal-free innovations and expertise. We aim to improve and accelerate the translation of new biomedical innovations to patients and users, at lower costs, and without the use of animals. We offer a professional network, courses, and labs for automation, demonstration and education.

UMC Utrecht Core Flow Facility

Utrecht Science Park

The Core Flow Facility provides and maintains flow cytometry equipment for over 150 annual users within the UMC Utrecht and external organizations.

USEQ: Utrecht Sequencing facility (Next generation sequencing and Spatial omics)

Utrecht Science Park

The Utrecht Sequencing Facility provides support for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and Spatial Omics based research.

Find your Exposome facilities

Find facilities that support the measurement and interpretation of environmental exposures and their biological effects. Expertise includes exposure assessment, metabolomics, air quality monitoring, chemical screening and data integration to better understand how external factors influence health.

Utrecht Platform for Organoid Technology

Utrecht Science Park

Utrecht Platform for Organoid Technology (UPORT) is a central facility within the UMC Utrecht that supports the generation of ‘living biobanks’ of healthy and diseased human tissues. Such biobanks are typically generated using organoid and induced pluripotent stem cell culturing technologies. UPORT provides a logistical infrastructure for rapid and standardized acquisition of human tissues, based on approved protocols for patient inclusion.
