The Rodolphe Mérieux Laboratory of Phnom Penh, located at the University of Health Sciences of Cambodia, is the first laboratory in the country to comply with international construction, equipment, and quality standards. It is a member of the GABRIEL laboratory network and is directed by Professor Monidarin Chou. Fully equipped to international quality standards With features like pressurized airlocks between rooms, air- and effluent-treatment systems, a room that meets biosafety level 2 standards, and a so-called “white room” (in which dust levels are controlled), every aspect of the Rodolphe Mérieux Laboratory is designed to prevent the risk of contamination of samples, laboratory personnel and the surrounding environment. The lab includes an analytical chemistry laboratory and a molecular biology platform with four work rooms: An ISO8 “white room” to prepare amplification mixes; A BSL2+ room to prepare samples; A room dedicated to polymerase chain reaction amplification; A room for the detection of products obtained from amplification.
