Multifunctional Mobile Module Complex for Analysis of Pathogenic Biological Materials (Agents)

Multifunctional mobile module complex for analysis of pathogenic biological materials (agents) (MKA PBA) and for the support of the decisions of the operational groups of the Ministry of Defence of Russia in case of biological emergencies, has been elaborated within the framework of the federal target program «The National System of Chemical and Biological Security of the Russian Federation (2009–2013)». The developer is OAO «NPO «Transkom» (PJSC «Research and Production Association «Transkom») together with the federal state budgetary establishment «48 Central Scientific Research Institute» of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation. The complex provides life support of the crew during 14 days and nights of autonomous work. The equipment of the complex allows to reveal and identify up to 25 agents of infectious diseases: plague, anthrax, glanders, melioidosis, cholera, typhoid, brucellosis, legionellosis, tularemia, orthopoxvirus diseases, Q fever, rabies, Rift Valley fever, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, Marburg fever, Ebola fever, Lassa fever, Machupo fever, West Niles fever, epidemic nephritis, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Dengue haemorrhagic fever, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and tick-borne encephalitis. In case of the absence of any stationary operational bases, MKA PBA can provide the fulfilling sanitary-epidemiological requirements SP 1.3.3118-13 «Security work with microorganisms I–II pathogenicity groups (hazard)». The complex can reveal pathogenic biological agents in no less than 20 samples simultaneously with probability 0,95. The duration of the preliminary analysis and the evaluation of biological environment in the emergency zone is no less than 15 minutes. The alleged service life of the complex is 12 years.
