The University of Maine offers numerous state-of-the-art analytical facilities through a wide range of faculty members and laboratories. These facilities support research from atomic scales to global scales, and provide students with access to instrumentation and field sites that cover the spectrum of needs. They also allow students to transfer basic and applied research developments to the industrial sector and participate in joint university-industrial funded research projects.

Some of these facilities and resources include:



University of Maine Zebrafish FacilityUniversity of Maine Zebrafish Facility
An asset for students and researchers throughout the State and complements research being conducted using other vertebrates such as mice. The facility is located in Hitchner Hall and is outfitted with the Aquatic Habitats for Accelerated Bioresearch fish rearing system.
