MOBILE LABORATORIES

In high-consequence disease outbreaks, speed, analytic reliability, and safe sample handling and transport are assets provided by mobile labs. Rapid deployment could help prevent further transmission and aid in maintaining quarantine zones.  When not deployed, the laboratory can be run via landline connections and provide space for diagnostic training programs and surge capacity at the main laboratory. Mobile laboratories can be up to BSL-3 level.

In response to the growing need to bring laboratory capability 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.  Originally built for Department of Defense missions, mobile laboratories increasingly support a wide variety of non-military missions in diverse, custom applications including All Hazard Receipt Facilities, Department of Agriculture, various Departments of Environment, Public Health Laboratories, First Responders and Civil Support Teams.

Germfree’s Mobile Laboratories are designed to meet the specific needs of the customer.  Labs can be built on a wide variety of platforms including trucks, trailers and shipping containers.  Mobile laboratory platforms provide up to BSL-3 safety with optimized primary and secondary containment systems for enhanced laboratory functionality, efficient use of space, and flexibility.  Because the laboratory is custom-designed, the possibilities for equipment integration to meet specific and diverse challenges are nearly limitless.
