In response to the growing need to bring laboratory capabilities to the field for fast, on-site diagnostics and sustainable laboratory capabilities, Germfree, in partnership with the US Army, pioneered the design and deployment of mobile containment laboratories. 

Germfree Mobile Labs offer comprehensive laboratory capabilities (up to BSL-3). They are often deployed to provide rapid on-site sample triage, screening and presumptive diagnostic capabilities to prioritize samples being sent to national reference labs.

Our Mobile Labs can be moved easily. They are rapidly deployable and frequently used in incident investigation (i.e. suspicious materials), military and civil preparedness applications.  When not deployed, the laboratory can be operated via landline connections and stationed at the main laboratory. This provides a platform for diagnostic training programs as well as laboratory surge capacity for the main lab.

Originally built for defense missions, Mobile Laboratories increasingly support a diverse range of other applications including Public Health Laboratories, Environmental Agencies, All Hazard Receipt Facilities, Departments of Agriculture and Veterinary Health, First Responders, Law Enforcement and other Security Agencies.  Germfree Mobile units are also used for CBRNe/NBC (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) sampling and analysis at high profile events such as International Summits, Inaugurations and the Olympics.  Germfree Mobile Laboratories play a vital role in public health and national security by enabling a rapid response to natural and accidental outbreaks of disease and potential terrorist threats.

Germfree builds Mobile Laboratories in a variety of platforms including  Vans, Trucks , Trailers , Mobile Container Labs  to accommodate the need for biosafety and high containment up to Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) / P3 for a range of missions, applications and local conditions. Germfree's Mobile Labs also meet the rigorous demands of a Laboratory Airlift .

Primary and Secondary Containment for BSL-3 Operations

Germfree provides the primary and secondary containment systems critical for a BSL-3 (P3) Mobile Laboratory. Our engineers work with you to design, manufacture and integrate all of the primary containment enclosures required for your project (Biological Safety Cabinets: Class II and Class III BSC) as well the secondary containment configuration for the BSL-3 /P3 laboratory. Because the laboratory is custom-designed by Germfree, the possibilities for equipment integration to meet specific and diverse challenges are nearly limitless. As your single-source provider, we eliminate the need for numerous subcontractors.
