Biodiversity & Biological Oceanography Laboratory (OBB)

The Biodiversity & Biological Oceanography Laboratory (OBB) is one of the laboratory units that provides facilities to accommodate research conducted. This research laboratory is equipped with modern equipment such as HPLC, Rosette Water Sampler, PAM-Diving Pump Fluorometer, Microplate Reader and several other tools that assist in biological and biodiversity studies. This laboratory serves to provide and ensure the best facilities to researchers and postgraduate students in carrying out activities related to ocean exploration especially in the field of biology and biodiversity.

 

Our Main Objectives:

  • Provide conducive space and complete infrastructure for biological oceanographic and biodiversity research
  • Become a platform for supervisors and postgraduate students to conduct research
  • To ensure that the scientific and biodiversity aspects are consistent with the rapid knowledge of ocean studies.
  • Assist research groups in INOS and UMT in carrying out sampling activities at the study site and analyzing samples in the laboratory
