Our Bio.Kitchen Mobile Corona Diagnostic Lab is a ruggedized lab-in-a-box for pandemic response

• 3 mobile lab stations: Lab.bio (2 units), Micro.bio, Syn.bio (optional)

• Easily transported and operation - ready to use within ~24h, anywhere in EU

• Compatible to our molecular and microbiological lab tools

• Optimized equipment storage compatible with Eurocontainers

• Extendable table top area to a maximum of 7.2 m² (5 work spaces)

• On demand: mobile energy generator and voltage regulators

Bio.Kitchen Mobile Lab Properties

Durable and Secure

• Steel frame 25x25x2 mm welded and powder-coated

• TRESPA® Toplab Plus® 20 mm lab grade tabletop

• Lightweight, cleanable and robust eloxed aluminium AlucoBond base cabinets

Practical

• All machines can be stored in “euro containers” fitted into base cabinets

• Table addons such as garbage bins, hand soap holders, power-plugs, lights and hygienic paper dispensers available

• Each stations tabletops can be extended by 850x700mm extensions

Mobile

• Each station can be lifted into a transporter or up the stairs by two people

• Using its robust wheels a station can be positioned anywhere e.g. a wheelchair can access

Rapid and scalable production
First mobile lab prototype by late April 2020
Production ready to scale from May 2020 on

With 1 station per 100 000 citizens our mobile lab allows to screen up to 70% of the population within 1 year.

Assumptions:
● Staffing: 1 clinical laboratory technician at a time working in shifts
● qPCRs: 6 RT-qPCR devices, each 16 wells
● Test procedure: Per patient 2 swabs (nose+mouth) with 2 PCR reactions + 2 controls are tested
● Cycle Time: 90 mins to result per run
● Runtime: 6 machines*2 patients * 24h/1.5h= 192 diagnoses/24h, rounded down

Idea: DNA sequencing and synthesis - teleporting coronavirus diagnostic reagents

Coronavirus quick tests have to be provided as point-of-care personalised diagnostics. Using our Syn.Bio station, coronaviruses can be sequenced, their genome data sent over the internet and their DNA snippets printed again by a receiving Syn.Bio station in a different location. The printed corona DNA can be tested against patient samples in a clinic within 2h using our open QPCR. Thus, a programmable biological diagnostic reagent can be literally “teleported”. Patients anywhere on the planet can be diagnosed with personalised medicine in real time.

Future: A Mobile Lab can enable resource-limited locations with high-tech solutions sustainably.

All our Bio.kitchen mobile lab stations can be used as a technological support infrastructure in any place with the need for a laboratory. We envision their usage in resource limited locations for the following purposes:
 

• Emergency response, e.g. for molecular infection diagnostics in epidemic outbreak situations

• Complementary to mobile temporary drive thru test sites

• Flexible high tech upgrade solution for resource limited laboratories

• Enabling personalised and precision medicine on-site, e.g. COVID-19 Diagnostics  in pop up hospitals

• Educational infrastructure for microbiology, synthetic biology and microfluidics, e.g. in universities and schools

Current low-tech reality: Immanuel Nnadi’s Phage Therapy laboratory in Bokkos, Nigeria

Target users:   Resource-limited hospitals, Universities, NGOs, Governments, Emergency Response Units
 

Stations required:   Lab.bio, Micro.bio, Syn.bio
