Our laboratories include facilities for research involving molecular techniques, morphology, geology and bioinformatics. Activities range from morphological and chemical research down to the most microscopic detail to genome analyses of plants, animals and the environment; from testing the authenticity of precious stones to identifying traces of plants and animals in soil, water and air using DNA fingerprinting. The Naturalis laboratories form an essential component of scientific research in the Netherlands and abroad.

Although Naturalis is undergoing renovations, our laboratories will continue to be fully operational at temporary locations during this time. Research and analysis are ongoing. Our new building will open in mid-2019, with all of our research and collection facilities under one roof.
