The S³IP Analytical and Diagnostics Laboratories are centralized, interdisciplinary, fully staffed research facilities at Binghamton University that enable the commercialization of microelectronic technologies by providing major instruments and technical support for materials diagnostics, analysis, characterization, and device processing in areas such as electronics systems integration and packaging, materials research, and flexible electronics. The lab also supports life sciences research applications in medical areas, security systems for detection of pathogens, and additional industrial and consumer applications, both directly as well as through related emerging technologies. The Laboratories are available for use by members of the Binghamton University research community, other academic institutions and profit and nonprofit organizations.

The S³IP Analytical and Diagnostics Laboratories are a component of The Small Scale Systems Integration and Packaging Center, a New York state Center of Excellence.

The labs are staffed by Ph.D. level scientists and staff, and include such instrumentation as light microscopy, laser microscopy, transmission and scanning electron microscopy, focused ion beam, x-ray diffraction, small angle x-ray, atomic force microscopy, mesoscale machining, thermal machining, electronics instrumentation, and a microfabrication facility.  Equipment use is available to the community, and charges are established in accordance with Federal OMB Circulars and approved by the Binghamton University Chargeback Committee.
