Labs and lab equipment
Tjärnö Marine Laboratory houses a number of laboratories, technical resources, and organisms. If you are going to be working in a laboratory, you will be given an introduction to laboratory work. To get this, please contact the laboratory manager, Ahmed Alrifaiy.
Rules for laboratory work
Special permit is required when working with vertebrates and cephalopods.
If working with chemicals, you always have to assess risks, in KLARA. For risk assessment, contact lab supervisor. We have lab coats and other personal protective equipment.
For security reasons it is generally not allowed to work alone in lab before 06.30, after 22.00 and during week-ends. Before laboratory work outside office hours is performed, the lab supervisor has to be consulted.
All of your materials, plastic containers, aquarium tanks, etc. should be labeled with name and date. If you are unsure where to throw garbage or set disk, please contact the lab supervisor.
De-ionized water is available in most labs, and it is possible to order liquid nitrogen, dry ice and gas. Contact lab supervisor for this.
Lab shop
All supplies available in the laboratories belong to someone. We have a lab shop where you can buy essentials.
