A deployable laboratory can be indispensable for use in unsafe and dynamic environments. Its modular design, coupled with state-of-the-art laboratory equipment and special safety precautions, enables it to respond flexibly to nuclear, biological and chemical threats. The use of specially developed laboratory containers as part of the special vehicle construction guarantees a robust and safe transportation option. In addition, the laboratory contributes to ensuring security of supply through food chemical testing. This combination of mobility, safety and scientific precision makes a mobile laboratory a central component of modern crisis management and military operations.
Organization and structure
Thanks to its modular design, a relocatable laboratory can be set up and dismantled in a short space of time. This mobility is crucial for deployment in dynamic and often unsafe environments. A typical Bundeswehr mobile NBC defense laboratory is designed to withstand nuclear, biological and chemical threats. "NBC" stands for the specific types of threat - nuclear, biological and chemical.
Areas of application and special equipment
A deployable laboratory is mainly used to investigate and evaluate events caused by highly contagious diseases or the possible use of weapons of mass destruction. By using modern measurement and detection methods, this laboratory can carry out quick and precise analyses in order to assess the danger and take appropriate countermeasures.
A relocatable laboratory must meet the highest standards, especially to prevent contamination. The complete protection of samples is of central importance in order to avoid endangering laboratory staff and the environment. Specially developed laboratory equipment, such as a foldable mobile glove box, enables scientists to work safely and hygienically under field conditions. This equipment saves space and is quickly ready for use, which is essential in crisis situations.
Laboratory containers from special vehicle construction
A mobile laboratory often consists of a so-called laboratory container. These laboratory containers are specially designed for use under extreme conditions and are manufactured by Norrenbrock in special vehicle construction, among others. The expertise and experience that Norrenbrock Technik GmbH has in special vehicle construction makes it possible to design the containers in such a way that they are robust, safe and easy to transport. These laboratory containers can be easily loaded onto trucks or other transport vehicles and transported to the place of use. This considerably increases the flexibility and operational readiness of the laboratory.
