ReadyPOD

Self-Sustained Mobile Laboratory System

CERTEK’s mobile laboratory (ReadyPOD) will provide a workspace in which operators can work safely with chemical and biological materials.

The ReadyPOD will provide the ability to respond to intentional and unintentional incidents involving biological and chemical agent release.

The ReadyPOD can be deployed and positioned where there is a risk of biological and/or chemical terrorism or to support public health missions such as an influenza or other outbreak, or natural disaster response.

When not deployed in response to a crisis, the ReadyPOD will provide the flexibility to accommodate laboratory surge capacity in support of public and agricultural health operations and can be pre-positioned to serve as an All Hazards Receipt Facility (AHRF) during high profile events.

The ReadyPOD will provide military units and first responders with a facility for emergency response where they will have the use of laboratory equipment, including Class II and Class III Biological Safety Cabinets, pass-through containment boxes, and analytical equipment essential for working safely and effectively with chemical and biological hazardous materials.

The ReadyPOD can be designed and operated as:

Bio-Safety Laboratory Level II and III (BSL-2 and BSL-3)
All Hazards Receipt Facility (AHRF) negative pressure.
Chemical, Biological, and Radiological (CBR) with an over pressure system.
The ReadyPOD is custom built and configured to your specific needs.
The CommandPOD (command and control) comes with internet, cellular, and / or satellite communications.
The SupportPOD (sleeping for six with shower, toilet, and kitchen).
With all three systems you will have a truly self-sustained environment anywhere in the world you need to deploy.
Units can be interconnected. (Optional)
The ReadyPOD can be built in a 20', 40', or 53' shipping container, 53' Semi Trailer or CERTEK's custom designed heavy-duty steel framed mobile structure.
