NEED FOR CONTAINER TEST LAB:

Currently India is experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic. The entire country is vulnerable and the statistics of infected and affected people is growing day by day. As on 27.3.2020; we have capacity to test only 15000 samples/ day all over India and we will need many more test facilities in rural India too, practically in every district.

Hence, Sciencebydesign Labsystems Pvt Ltd (Turnkey lab construction company), Arena Consultants (Lab Architects), & Firstsource Laboratory Solutions (Lab equipment company) have come together to design and develop a Portable Container Test Lab setup for testing COVID-19 virus. It is our sincere attempt of setting up such facilities for the benefit of our fellow countrymen.

We are elated to build Mobile Virology Test Labs which have also received a grant from BIRAC (DBT, Government of India) with the assistance of the esteemed Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
