At the same time, the Mobile Chamber PCR Lab are also equipped with a visual intelligent control system with dynamic pressure control capability, i.e., automatically balance the differential pressure changes caused by the air conditioning filters and high efficiency filter blockage, as well as temperature and humidity control, pressure gradient monitoring, real-time monitoring of humidity data, and appointment sterilization and intelligent sterilization functions.

“The Mobile Chamber PCR Cube Lab is a public service epidemic prevention and control product that combines the needs of the front line of the epidemic fight.” The head of Hulu Medical said. “Although we can’t eliminate the virus, we can quickly stop the spread of the virus.”

This type of laboratory is flexible and easy to transport, and can be reused many times, and it can also be used without any installation when transported to the place where the outbreak occurs.

In addition, the Lab has already completed the basic configuration of water, electricity, air supply and exhaust, wastewater, and exhaust gas discharge of individual chambers before leaving the factory, so it can maintain independent operation even under extreme conditions such as no external power and water supply.
