LaboMobil©

The mobile laboratory is an all-terrain vehicle outfitted with laboratory equipment (laminar flow hood, centrifuge, refrigerator, fluorescent microscope). It has its own energy and water sources. A supplementary tool for reference laboratories, the LaboMobil© provides critical support to microbiological surveillance of potentially epidemic diseases such as cholera and acute bacterial meningitis.

Due to its mobility, the LaboMobil© allows rapid and reliable identification of the etiology of diarrheal and meningitis epidemics. It goes directly to suspected households, including those located in remote districts, to perform immediate, on-site microbiological diagnosis, thus reducing the delay in the implementation of appropriate, effective, and rapid outbreak responses (vaccination campaigns, preventive measures, adequate patient treatment, etc.).
