Product highlights
Biocontainment
BSL-2, BSL-3, CDC NIH, BMBL
Built to Mobilize Biocontainment Advancements Worldwide
Germfree’s bioGO® mobile laboratory facilities for biocontainment are designed and built in accordance with the CDC NIH BMBL guidelines for BSL-2 or BSL-3 laboratories, as well as the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. These facilities are engineered to meet or exceed these strict guidelines.
The primary use of mobile biocontainment labs is for disease surveillance, which involves collecting samples quickly and analyzing them in the field. Mobile biocontainment laboratories are also the most effective way to minimize biocontainment risks by keeping samples isolated from the main facility.
Germfree is the sole provider of biocontainment facilities with integrated containment equipment. Our expertise in custom Class III Biosafety cabinets for handling hazardous samples, EDS systems, integrated autoclaves, VHP decontamination, and more is well-documented within our mobile platform.
