A mobile field-deployable laboratory to more conveniently enable the detecting, sequencing and analyzing of biological agents at the point-of-need. This device enables field operators to go from sample to actionable information in the field without the need for an internet connection or grid-based power. The present mobile laboratory is configured in a footlocker configuration including a plurality of different compartments specifically configured for holding all of the necessary equipment for use in a wide variety of different applications including successfully extracting, amplifying, sequencing and characterizing specific viruses, pathogens and other bacteria directly in the field including an integrated power supply for providing power to the relevant components for up to 72 hours of continuous use without the need for any external power source. The present mobile laboratory includes a deployable workbench area which provides a stable workstation when the footlocker configuration is deployed.

Modular mobile field-deployable laboratory for rapid, on-site detection and analysis of biological targets

This invention relates to adaptation of intersecting storage rings, of the same type used in high energy nuclear physics research, for power generation. The device is optimized for lower-energy beam paricles and higher beam current, adapted with a reaction chamber at the intersection of the rings to collect released fusion energy for conversion to electricity, and equipped with means to recapture scattered accelerated particles and reintegrate them into the focused beams for recirculation through the reaction chamber. The preferred beam particles, deuterium and tritium, are accelerated and injected into and focused by the storage rings, to collide nearly head on in the reaction chamber. Non-colliding, accelerated beam particles are conserved by recovery, correction and recirculation, requiring relatively small amounts of input energy to maintain acceleration and focus of the beams, and thus remain energized for another collision attempt. Grid devices intercept scattered particles and recapture some of them for recirculation. Only those beam particles which scatter so widely as to evade recapture and those which actually react to produce thermonuclear fusion must be replaced and accelerated up to the energy sufficient to cause fusion.
