Jefferson Laboratories also houses part of the Human Food Program (HFP), a field laboratory tasked with analyzing a wide variety of samples from foods to cosmetics.

These items must be consistently maintained to facilitate optimal performance. Examples of instruments and equipment include scientific balances, autoclaves, bioanalyzers, centrifuges, desktop and laptop computers, incubators, microscopes, printers, tissue processors, thermocyclers, and liquid chromatographs. In addition, some research projects require specialized design and fabrication services.
These services are to include, but not limited to:
