"They're waiting for you, Gordon. In the Test Chamber."
Black Mesa scientist[src]

Sector C, referred to as Sector C Test Labs,[6] is one of the seven main Sectors of the Black Mesa Research Facility.[6]

Known locations[edit]

Anomalous Materials Laboratory[edit]

The Anomalous Materials Laboratory is a location featured in Half-Life in the chapter Anomalous Materials. It consists of test labs and control facilities and is the workplace of Gordon Freeman. It houses the Anti-Mass Spectrometer, a large machine used by the scientists to analyze materials, in the test chamber (also known as Test Lab C-33/a) which is also the source of the Black Mesa Incident. It is often seen or referenced throughout the series.

This area is only seen in Decay in the mission Dual Access. It is a sub section of the Anomalous Materials Laboratory located under the test chamber. It is supervised by Richard Keller from the control room of the Anomalous Materials Operations Center. The player characters operate the lower section of the test chamber and deliver the sample from here to assist the experiment.
