The Agency for Health and Nutritional Security (Ages) is developing a rolling laboratory for use in Africa as part of the EU-wide “Mobilis project”. It is a high -safe, mobile facility in which monsters of people, animals and the environment must be analyzed.
It is a truck of ten tons, a truck of ten and nine -meter, which is equipped with the capacities of a laboratory of the biological safety level. The use in East Africa is planned, according to the ages on Wednesday in a broadcast.
For fast laboratory results, fast tests for the West -Nijl virus or the Crima Congo -Hemorrhagic fever virus are developed, which can produce results in minutes. Moreover, there is the possibility of a total genome sequence, where laboratory analysts can also be supported in evaluating the results of international experts via an online platform, it said.
“It is incredibly important to be able to respond quickly to such outbursts of disease in affected regions,” Friedrich Schmoll, manager of the age of age, emphasized the benefits of mobile laboratories. Solar systems on the truck must make self -sufficient use of diagnostic devices and energy -efficient operation possible.
Prototype tested in Mödling
The prototype is tested as part of a field mission by national authorities and First AIDS in Austria, Germany, Greece and East Africa. The ages performs extensive tests and tests the possible use of the mobile laboratory at the age of Mödling.
The approach to one health, in which aspects of veterinary and human medicine are considered together, is “crucial for dealing with infectious diseases,” emphasized Ages director Johannes Pleiner-Duxneuner in presenting the mobile laboratory in Mödling. With the help of mobile laboratories, pathogens can be quickly identified and outbreaks of diseases can be reported immediately to the responsible authorities.
