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.

AI Labs

Utrecht University

Located at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, we provide expert support in single-cell experiments for academic and industry partners. The facility offers access to conventional, spectral, and high-sensitivity cytometry instrumentation for applications ranging from single cells to small particle analysis (40–1000 nm).

Electron Microscopy Centre

Utrecht University

The EM centre combines state-of-the-art equipment with cross-disciplinary scientists from the fields of life science, materials science and geoscience, supporting sample preparation, data collection and data analysis for EM projects, thereby making the techniques accessible to scientists with diverse research interests.

Find your Translational Research facilities

Find facilities that help move discoveries from the lab towards patients, practice or society. These services support validation, implementation, clinical relevance and collaboration across disciplines.

Exposome-Scan

Utrecht University

A joint Leiden–Utrecht University infrastructure using high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS, GC-MS) to simultaneously measure thousands of chemicals — pesticides, pollutants, metabolites, pharmaceuticals — in blood, urine, and hair. It enables agnostic, hypothesis-free exposure profiling in large population cohorts, linking complex chemical mixtures to health outcomes and pharmaco-exposomics applications.

Hubrecht Imaging Center

Utrecht Science Park

The Hubrecht Imaging Center enables scientists to visualize and analyze complex scientific questions using advanced microscopy technologies.

i-HUB – Plus Ultra Utrecht

Utrecht Science Park

Designed to support the realisation of ideas, our concept Innovation HUB, or i-HUB for short, features fully-furnished labs and offices tailored to your research needs.

Find your MedTech facilities

Discover facilities supporting the development, testing and translation of medical technologies. These capabilities help researchers and innovators move from concept to prototype, validation and clinical application.

ICAT (Innovation Center for Advanced Therapies)

Utrecht Science Park

ICAT, as part of UMC Utrecht aims to accelerate the development and clinical translation of Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) by providing academia and industry with shared innovation labs, translational expertise and GMP manufacturing, combining the infrastructure and disciplines needed to bring innovative therapies from concept to patient.

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.
