Lab In A Suitcase
Lab In A Suitcase with Solar Panel International Aid’s Lab-in-a-Suitcase is an innovative resource for medical professionals and surveillance teams working in remote areas. This unique product offers the capability of critical laboratory measurements to underserved areas. More than 400 units are in use worldwide from the most remote locations to regions struck by disaster.

The Lab-In-A-Suitcase (LIS) is a portable laboratory that can be set up and used to perform 80% of the standard tests most frequently requested by field physicians. Recent focus on HIV, Malaria and TB has made the LIS one of the few viable field laboratories capable of diagnostic testing in communities which lack adequate electricity, technology, and consumables to support a permanent laboratory. The LIS can be used as a back-up diagnostic tool for hospitals where power and supplies are unreliable. The lab is frequently used by short-term mission teams in remote areas and is included in many portable medical units. The LIS is an important component of Primary Health Care programs.

NOT INCLUDED
The LIS does not include reagents necessary for use with the colorimeter, for two reasons. The reagents can be very difficult to ship, since some are flammable, require refrigeration, or have a short shelf life. We recommend that you purchase your reagents in-country. However, if this is unattainable, we can send you reagents via surface shipment only. Secondly, partner’s reagents needs vary depending on the specific work planned. If you would like to purchase reagents, please let us know and we will assist you.
