TechVan Our Premier Mobile Labs

The Core Vehicle Platform

The TechVan XD is a fully customizable vehicle built upon a platform utilizing the Freightliner air-cushioned chassis with Cummins Diesel Engine and Allison transmission.

Facilities for Laboratory Analysis and Sensitive Materials Storage

The TechVan XD Vaccination Station includes one 3.3 cu. Ft. -80 degree freezer and one -20 degree and a full size pharmacy refrigerator for maintaining the vaccines, controls, patient samples, and other temperature sensitive materials.

Accommodations for Long Range Deployment

Because the TechVan XD is designed to accommodate long range and/or long term deployment where access to services may be difficult, we have incorporated a large generator, water and waste vessels, restroom facilities, a microwave oven, and a staff under-counter refrigerator. Copious storage for PPE and other critical materials is designed into the XD vehicle.

Provisions for Teaching and Instruction

In the front section of the vehicle there is a four person work area for use in teaching and instruction of students. Adjacent to this work area is a flat panel TV for viewing of programming relevant their studies. Additionally, there is a single person computer workstation area. This area is also appropriate for consultations and collaborative discussions.

Compatibility with Patient Evaluation

One use of the vehicle is to provide health screenings and similar services. To accommodate this, an electrically actuated variable height bariatric phlebotomy chair is conveniently located with easy access. Additionally, the rear laboratory provides a convertible exam table when required.

The Customized Tech2 Advanced Power Source Technology

A critical component in the TechVan XD Vaccination Stations is the generator based power source for the multiple Refrigerators and Freezers mounted inside the vehicle. The reliability of this system is paramount to protecting the integrity of the vaccine and the successful distribution of an effective vaccination program.

The Fully Customized Tech2 control system features a 9” color touchscreen with graphic user controls and status, and utilizes a dual input charger/controller and inverter with 120V auto detection.

Environmental Control

The Custom Control system allows for monitoring of air particulates and allows for control by the special HEPA air filtration system. The air quality can be monitored and graphed over time to provide a display of air cleanliness.

Safety/Disinfection

As the TechVan XD Vaccination Station is designed to be used for viral vaccinations, it is possible that contamination from PPE or other sources could be a risk. In order to mitigate the risk, the TechVan rear work space can be designed to be effectively isolated* from the driver/passenger compartment and for rinse down and/or disinfection. *Note that complete isolation of the space is impossible due to the nature of construction of the core vehicle, but every reasonable effort has been made to minimize any risk of cross contamination from one space to another.

Additional Pertinent Features

The modular design of each component within the Vaccination Station allow for simple/cost effective replacement should the need arise. Although we have chosen the most reliable components and design, we are realistic in acknowledging that things sometimes fail. We have designed the TechLab XD Vaccination Station to be prepared for the unexpected.

Professional Branded Exterior Finish

The TechLab XD Vaccination Station is fully wrapped in high-quality 3M vinyl wrap with professional graphics identifying it as an official vehicle of Hampton University. In addition to providing a high profile for the University, we believe this designation provides a level of safety to occupants when delivering services to underserved communities.

Thinking Ahead - Repurposing the Vehicle

The configuration of this vehicle for Hampton University is only one of many configurations possible for the TechVan XD. We can assist you in repurposing the vehicle to future special applications should the need arise, as the interior is designed and constructed such that reconfiguring can be accomplished with minimal effort. The modular design of each component ensures that removal and replacement are easily accomplished. Even the exterior is easily changed as the chosen wrap materials are uniquely able to be removed should the van be repurposed.
