The main Orthopaedic Research Laboratory is located on the 5th and 7th floors of the Basic Science Building and is divided into the following laboratories or areas.

The Mechanical Testing and General Performance Laboratory (BSB550), used for specimen preparation, pre-treatment, and mechanical testing, equipped with 3 mechanical testing and data acquisition systems, three different cutting saws, a drill press, basic machine tools, a vacuum evaporator, two laboratory balances, an analytical balance, a fume hood, a high temperature oven, and 2 dissecting microscopes. Different mechanical tests on bone, soft tissue, or biomaterial specimens have been conducted in this laboratory, such as bending, compression, tensile, indentation, pushout, pullout, and screw pullout test.

The Cell Culture Laboratory (BSB729), used for osteoblast and chondrocyte culture, equipped with a CO2 incubator, two centrifuges (table top and micro), a laminar flow hood, two inverted microscopes.

The Histology and Biochemistry Laboratory (BSB729), equipped with basic histologic and biochemical equipment, a Faxitron X-ray machine, a Jung heavy duty sliding microtome, a diamond wire Histosaw, a slow and a high speed diamond wafer saws, and a Leco automatic grinder, an embedding center, a fume guide, two vacuum drying ovens, and 3 light-field microscopes.

The Microbiology Laboratory (BSB548), used for bacterial adhesion studies, equipped with two multiple purpose incubators, a bacterial culture rotator, and a biofilm flow chamber (home made).
