Spiez Laboratory, which is part of the Federal Department for Civil Protection, is the Swiss Center of Expertise in NBC Protection. Its Biology Division has a range of activities including research, development, test & evaluation, training, as well as diagnosis in the fields of virology, bacteriology, toxinology and biosafety. The tasks include analysis of unknown samples, diagnostics and identification of potential biological warfare and bioterror agents, food and water analysis for the Swiss Armed Forces, and research & development in coordination with contractors. Spiez Laboratory deals with many different biological agents and toxins known to be pathogenic for humans.
Spiez Laboratory is also a National Reference Center mandated by the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health and a National Reference Laboratory mandated by the Swiss Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office as follows:
- National Reference Center for Anthrax
- Bacillus anthracis (anthrax)
- Francisella tularensis (tularemia)
- Yersinia pestis (plague)
- Brucella spp. (brucellosis)
- Burkholderia pseudomallei (melioidosis)
- Clostridium botulinum (botulism)
- other bacterial pathogens according to requirements of the national coordination committee of the Regional Laboratory Network
- National Reference Center for Tick-Transmitted Diseases
- Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBE)
- Coxiella burnetii (Q fever)
- Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. (Lyme disease)
- Other rare / emerging tick-transmitted pathogens
- National Reference Laboratory for Staphylococcus enterotoxins
- Staphylococcus enterotoxin B
- other Staphylococcus enterotoxins
In addition, Spiez Laboratory supports the National Reference Center for Emerging Viral Infections responsible for the detection of emerging and reemerging viruses of all biosafety levels, especially hemorrhagic fever viruses and variola virus.
Spiez Laboratory's Biology Division holds an accreditation by the Swiss Accreditation Service as "Testing laboratory for the detection of biological agents" (STS 0054) according to the international standard ISO/IEC 17025:2005.
