Turkey's first; Biomedical Electronic Device Design, Production, Calibration and Research Laboratories (BETAL) was established at Fatih Sultan Mehmet Foundation University Haliç Campus with the financial support of Istanbul Development Agency (ISTKA). The Laboratory and Center are located on the upper floor of the R&D building in the Haliç campus. The laboratory consists of three units: "Electronic Prototype Circuit Production", "Biomedical Device Calibration" and "Research laboratory". The devices in these departments are open to all faculty members, engineers and students who will work on biomedical electronic device design, production and calibration.

Thanks to this very special laboratory brought to Istanbul in the field of biomedical technology, it is aimed to reduce our country's foreign dependency by developing advanced technology wearable and high value-added products and many biomedical devices that the country needs and are currently being imported. In addition, with the cooperation of universities, civil society and private sector, the capacity of the sector will be improved and the competitiveness level of Istanbul will increase. Thanks to the project, our university students and faculty members will have a qualified practice area.

The laboratory will also serve other educational institutions in Istanbul, biomedical units of hospitals, SMEs producing in the biomedical field, and companies that are currently trading these products and considering producing some products in our country. Employees of these companies or institutions will be able to use the equipment in our laboratory and carry out research and prototype production in our laboratory.

BETAM has completed national and international accreditation processes for the services it offers; It is our country's first and only internationally approved laboratory by TÜRKAK, which has a recognition agreement with the European Accreditation Association (EA), International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and International Laboratory Accreditation Association (ILAC), by providing the conditions titled ISO/IEC 17025:2017 General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories. It has become a university institution entitled to be accredited.
