Danum Valley has 3 laboratories:
- Analytical lab: This lab can accommodate 4 - 5 scientists at one time, is air-conditioned and includes standard items of research equipment including large drying ovens, a furnace, electronic balances, dissecting microscopes, a water distiller, fume cupboard, refrigerators, a freezer and a de-humidified store
- Wet lab: This relatively large lab can accommodate 10 or more scientists at once, and was designed primarily for soil and hydrological analyses and the initial handling of bulky plant material. It includes several sinks, plenty of bench space and standard items of equipment for soil and water analysis including sediment filtration.
- Teaching lab: This large laboratory has enough bench-space for groups of 30 or more students and was designed with university field courses in mind. It can also be used as a lecturing/demonstration space.
