Fairfield Technologies has a core competency in automation for the physical and life sciences industries:

• Physical Sciences - We define the physical sciences as "The natural sciences dealing with inanimate matter or with energy, as physics, chemistry, astronomy, and including weather-related areas such as meteorology and hydrology."
  
  
• Life Sciences - We define the term "life sciences" to encompass companies in the fields of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, biomedical technologies, environmental technologies, biomedical devices, and organizations and institutions (whether government, commercial, or non-profit in nature) that devote the majority of their efforts in the various stages of research, development, technology transfer and commercialization. This includes areas such as bioinformatics and biocomputing, biomedical engineering and imaging, genetics, genomics, proteomics, mediacal imaging, nanotechnology and neuroscience.
