- Schwann-Schleiden Research Centre (Laser Scan Microscopy, luciferase imaging system, etc.)
- Plant Biochemistry (HPLC, GCMS, etc.)
- the Genome Laboratory/Microbiology (Next generation sequencing, transcriptomics, proteomics),
- Phytopathology (HPLC-MS),
- Forest Botany and Tree Physiology (EDX-TEM, SEM, FTIR-microscopy),
- Molecular Wood Biotechnology and Technical Mycology (Proteomics),
- the Competence Center of Stable Isotopes (KOSI),
- and the Laboratory of Radioactive Isotopes (LARI).
