Mobile Lab
Esfandiari/UHH
The Mobile Lab was established in 2012 and has continually been growing. Besides Western Europe, it has operated in Nepal, Ethiopia and other regions, bringing its expertise in non-destructive material analyses to the places where the artefacts are kept without exposing them to the hazards of transportation. Its instrumentation is continually updated and improved with the goal to expand not only the range of portable equipment but also of methodologies.
Requests for cooperation should be addressed to Claudia Colini or Sebastian Bosch.
