Mobile Laboratories

Germfree designs, engineers and manufactures advanced containment laboratories into the mobile platform of your choice. We have been manufacturing innovative bio-containment equipment for five decades and we have more than 15 years of experience in making labs mobile by configuring vehicles for the proper integration of laboratory equipment. Germfree offers Vans, Trucks, Trailers, and Mobile Container Labs to accommodate any requirements for high containment up to Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) / P3. We also manufacture Mobile Labs that meet the rigorous demands of a Laboratory Airlift. Germfree’s Mobile Labs are deployed for a range of missions, applications and local conditions. These advanced units enhance existing laboratory operations by providing emergency preparedness options, rapid response to outbreaks and other hazardous events as well as giving you maximum flexibility of operations.

Truck Laboratories

Built to your specifications, truck labs represent the ultimate mobile laboratory. Completely self-contained and self-sustaining, truck labs can go more places and stay there longer allowing for larger scale on-site operations with the added benefit of mobility.

Van Laboratories

Germfree Van Labs provide the ideal solution for quick deployment. This compact platform provides access to remote locations as well as easy maneuverability in urban areas. It accommodates a small team of personnel who must gain access to incident sites quickly.

Trailer Laboratories

Germfree’s Trailer Labs are a mobile laboratory solution that maximize available lab space. In addition to providing remote on-site response capabilities, they are used for surge capacity. Trailer labs allow the user to leave the lab in-place while using the towing vehicle for resupplying the lab or for other purposes.

Mobile Container Labs

Germfree Mobile Container Labs provide enhanced flexibility for international deployments. These units provide the transportability of a shipping container combined with the mobility of a trailer. These labs provide a quick-transport platform for readiness-response to natural disasters, outbreaks, industrial accidents or counter-terrorism.

Air/C-130 Transportable

Designed to go anywhere, anytime, Germfree's Air-Transportable Mobile Labs provide ultimate flexibility combined with maximum capacity. We offer both truck and container labs that can be loaded onto C-130 cargo planes or similar air transport and airlifted to remote locations.

Germfree's Mobile Labs provide comprehensive
on-site biological safety and containment

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.

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 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.
