A Complete Laboratory Inside a Standard Shipping Container

We design, equip, and commission self-contained analytical laboratories built into 20ft or 40ft shipping containers. Every container lab is purpose-built for its application — from the structural fit-out and climate control through to the analytical instruments, sample preparation equipment, and utilities.

Each unit ships fully assembled and arrives ready to operate — requiring only connection to power, water and compressed air where applicable.

Every container lab includes:

• Structural insulated panelling and weatherproofing
• HVAC / climate control sized for instrument requirements
• Electrical distribution and lighting
• Instrument-specific bench and mounting systems
• Fire suppression and safety systems
• Secure access and data networking provisions
• All instruments installed and commissioned
• Operator training and handover

20ft & 40ft Options

Standard ISO container footprints for straightforward logistics and site placement

Climate Controlled

Precision HVAC maintains instrument operating conditions in any environment

Generator Compatible

Configured for generator power where grid supply is unavailable or unreliable

Secure & Durable

Built to withstand harsh site conditions with secure access control

Remote Mine Sites

Eliminate the cost and delay of sending samples to offsite laboratories. Get XRF, XRD, fire assay or particle size analysis on-site, with results in minutes not days.

• Grade control on shift
• Metallurgical QC in-process
• No sample transport costs
• Faster operational decisions

Industrial Facilities

Process plants, smelters, refineries and cement works that need analytical capability integrated with the production process — without building a dedicated lab structure.

• Process QC at source
• Compliant sample environments
• Expandable by adding modules
• Faster plant response times

Emerging Markets

Where laboratory infrastructure is limited or under development, a container lab provides a complete, functional analytical facility that can be operational within weeks.

• No construction required
• Relocatable as needs evolve
• Full training and support included
• Internationally shippable

A fully equipped petrochemical QC laboratory for LPG and gas product testing, housed across two linked 40ft containers. The complex provides dedicated sections for GC analysis and instrumentation, complete with overhead extraction ducting, gas manifold supply, climate control, and a fume cupboard fitted with an onboard scrubber system.

A containerised fuel testing laboratory designed, built, and delivered to a remote copper mining operation. The unit is fitted with chemical-resistant benching, split-unit climate control, a certified electrical installation, instrument gas supply, and a dedicated small office space.

A four-container coal testing and sample preparation complex commissioned at a surface mining operation. The facility comprises a dedicated sample preparation container, an analytical laboratory housing XRF, TGA and associated instrumentation, a staff amenities container with office, kitchenette and ablutions, and a 20ft sample storage container.

A purpose-built exploration sample preparation laboratory delivered to a remote site and installed on a reinforced concrete foundation. The unit features a covered primary crushing and splitting section, secondary crushing and milling within the container body, integrated dust extraction, and full climate control throughout.
