Spectevo Van Laboratories: Analytical and Biocontainment Labs in a Compact & Agile Platform
Spectevo’s Van Labs provide quick access to remote locations as well as easy maneuverability in urban areas. These compact mobile laboratories accommodate a small team of personnel enabling them to safely respond to incident sites very quickly. The Spectevo Mobile Van Lab acts as an extension of a regional or local fixed laboratory or, when used in conjunction with Spectevo’s 53’ Mobile laboratory, creates a hub and spoke approach for strategic deployment of an agile public health response. Samples can be prioritized for rapid testing in the field or safely transported to another facility. Additionally, this global platform is ideal for international applications.

Proximity and speed are critical to early detection of a potential outbreak as part of an effective disease surveillance program. Additionally, fixed laboratories and even larger trailer laboratories can present a challenge when engaging in a timely pandemic response, whether it be in remote/rural settings or dense urban populations.
Vans come in a variety of models with varying specifications. Below is a sample chassis specification:
- GVRW: 5,000 kg (11,023 lbs)
- Total payload capacity: 2,500+ kg (5,511 lbs)
- Towing capacity: 2,000+ kg (4,409 lbs)
- Towing capacity: 2,000+ kg (4,409 lbs)
- Fuel capacity: 100+ liters (26 gal)
