A mobile laboratory is a laboratory that is either fully housed within or transported by a vehicle such as a converted bus, RV, or tractor-trailer. Such vehicles can serve a variety of functions, including:

  • Science education
  • Science research
  • Air, water, and soil analysis and monitoring
  • Biosafety

Mobile Teaching Laboratories

A novel use of the mobile laboratory is in science education. In some cases, the mobile laboratory travels to a schools, museums, and other community organizations, providing the school with educational resources they otherwise lack. The mobile laboratory coalition is a loose partnership of groups that provide such services.
