mobile lab
Science on wheels
A mobile lab is a laboratory housed in a vehicle—typically a van, trailer, or truck—allowing scientific work to happen at remote or changing locations.
Crime scene investigators use mobile labs for on-site forensic analysis.
Mobile labs also serve in disaster response, environmental monitoring, and public health testing: The health department sent a mobile lab to conduct blood work in rural areas.
