#  Introducing MRIGlobal's Mobile Mercury Lab

 Written by Gwyn Winfield on 21 May 2020.

**Beyond Mobile Labs: Introducing a New Lab that Transforms Mobility into Portability**

Now more than ever, there is a call for mobile labs that can accommodate expansive operations within a small footprint without compromising quality or efficiency.

The emergence of new technologies opened the door for handheld devices and tools, but until now, there hasn’t been a truly portable lab that enables people to reap the full benefits of those new devices at their point of need.

With the Mercury Lab, [MRIGlobal](https://www.mriglobal.org/) has discovered a way to provide all the necessary logistics in a human-centered design that compresses into the size of a suitcase. This single-person-portable, grab-and-go case allows researchers from a variety of industries to take lab work anywhere.

Get to know the Mercury Lab:
For more than three years, the team at MRIGlobal has worked diligently to perfect their portable lab. They started with an idea that transformed into a successful prototype, which will become the first commercially sold lab of its kind.

The Mercury Lab provides everything needed to operate an efficient lab with a design construct similar to a standard laboratory workbench. Meant for single-person use, it folds into the size of a suitcase, meaning you can check it in as luggage on a plane or transport it in the back of a pickup truck.

This makes the Mercury Lab great for a variety of applications such as food inspections, forensics and crime scenes, disaster response, and infectious disease diagnostics. With a lifetime that could last for several years, the Mercury Lab is a long-term unit with benefits that will continue to grow as technology expands.
