F. Rhodes © CEA This laboratory is one of the most visited facilities on the Saclay. | The existence of the L3 laboratory in the LERI can work on a wide variety of pathogens in various areas, including in particular the biological risk in the NRBC program carried by the CEA (Nuclear, Radiological, Biological, Chemical). The LERI develops various immunological rapid diagnostic tests (prion diseases, toxins) but also environmental detection of Class 3 pathogens (Bacillus anthracis, Yersinia pestis ...). R.
