Laboratory Vehicle Platforms: Engineered Mobility for Field Science
The foundation of any reliable mobile laboratory for sale is its platform. Infinity Chassis Units selects and engineers industry-leading chassis to ensure durability, reliability, and suitability for the intended operational terrain and logistical chain.
Our vehicle-based solutions utilize proven mobile laboratory vans built on new OEM chassis from manufacturers such as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit, MAN TGE, or Iveco Daily. These platforms offer exceptional road mobility, are serviceable globally, and can be configured in various lengths and roof heights to accommodate specific laboratory layouts and equipment payloads. For applications requiring extreme durability, higher payload capacity, or all-terrain capability, we engineer laboratories on heavy-duty truck chassis. Alternatively, for maximum flexibility in transport and siting—including maritime shipping, rail transport, or permanent placement—we manufacture containerized laboratory units within standard 20-foot or 40-foot ISO shipping containers. These container laboratory solutions provide a rugged, secure, and modular facility that can be air-lifted, shipped, and rapidly deployed anywhere in the world, offering a permanent-grade laboratory footprint in a transportable format.
Interior Laboratory Layout and Optimized Workflow
The interior design of a mobile laboratory is a critical factor in its operational efficiency, safety, and scientific integrity. Our engineering team works collaboratively with clients to design a layout that reflects their specific workflow, from sample receipt and preparation to analysis and data recording.
We construct the interior using clean-room interior finishing materials, including seamless, coved vinyl flooring, fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) wall panels, and suspended, cleanable ceilings. This creates a smooth, non-porous, and chemically resistant environment that meets biosafety and contamination control protocols. The space is organized with dedicated zones for distinct processes, separated as necessary. Custom-fabricated workbenches & lab-grade cabinetry are installed, designed with chemical-resistant tops (e.g., epoxy resin or stainless steel), adjustable shelving, secure storage for reagents and samples, and integrated utility services. The layout is meticulously planned to ensure ergonomic efficiency, logical workflow progression, and adherence to necessary safety separations, transforming the mobile shell into a highly functional and professional scientific workspace.
HVAC and Precision Environmental Control
Maintaining a stable, contaminant-free internal environment is non-negotiable for laboratory operations. The HVAC system in an Infinity Chassis Units mobile laboratory vehicle is not an afterthought; it is a core, laboratory-grade component engineered for precision.
We install dedicated, high-capacity laboratory-grade HVAC & HEPA filtration systems. These systems provide precise temperature and humidity control, essential for sensitive instrumentation and reagent stability. For applications requiring contamination control, we integrate HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filtration to achieve ISO Class 5-8 cleanroom standards, preventing particulate ingress that could compromise experiments or diagnostic procedures. The system is designed to maintain negative or positive pressure within the laboratory space as required for biosafety levels (BSL-1, BSL-2, or enhanced BSL-2+), ensuring airborne pathogens are contained. This controlled environment is maintained consistently, whether the laboratory is stationary or in transit, guaranteeing the integrity of ongoing processes.
Electrical, Power, and Utility Systems
A mobile laboratory is a power-intensive environment. Our designs incorporate robust, redundant, and fail-safe electrical architectures to support sensitive analytical equipment and ensure uninterrupted operation.
Each unit is equipped with a high-capacity, sound-shielded independent power generator & UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system. The generator provides primary power when external grid connection is unavailable or unreliable. The UPS offers seamless bridge power during generator start-up and protects sensitive equipment from surges, sags, and micro-outages. The electrical distribution panel includes dedicated, isolated circuits for high-draw equipment, with voltage stabilization as standard. We also engineer comprehensive fresh & waste water systems, including potable water tanks with pressurization pumps, and segregated waste tanks for grey and chemical/biological waste, compliant with local disposal regulations. Critical safety features include an emergency safety shower & eyewash station, plumbed and internally heated to prevent freezing, as well as a dedicated fire detection & suppression system tailored for the vehicle’s unique environment and hazards.
Laboratory Equipment Integration and Data Systems
A laboratory is defined by its instrumentation. Infinity Chassis Units provides turnkey export & installation support, which can extend to the sourcing, installation, and commissioning of client-specified laboratory equipment.
Our design process includes creating detailed equipment lists and spatial plans to ensure all instrumentation—from microscopes, centrifuges, and PCR machines to gas chromatographs and spectrophotometers—is properly accommodated with dedicated power, data, and, if necessary, gas supply connections. We pre-wire the laboratory for comprehensive data & communications integration, including LAN cabling, Wi-Fi access points, satellite internet terminals, and cellular boosters to ensure reliable data transmission from the field to central databases. This integrated approach ensures that from the moment of deployment, the mobile laboratory van is a fully operational node in your scientific or diagnostic network, capable of both autonomous operation and real-time data sharing.
Compliance, Certification, and Quality Assurance Mobile Laboratory Van
Deploying a laboratory in a mobile format does not compromise regulatory compliance. Our manufacturing process is designed to meet and document adherence to relevant international and regional standards.
We construct our laboratories with materials and systems that facilitate compliance with guidelines such as ISO 14644 (cleanrooms), WHO MLI (Medical Laboratory Integration) standards for mobile medical laboratory units, and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) principles. While final certification often depends on the installed equipment and operational protocols, we provide a comprehensive construction dossier, including electrical system certifications, pressure decay tests for the sealed environment, and HVAC performance validation reports. For containerized laboratory units, we maintain the structural certification of the ISO container for shipping and lifting. This documentation provides a robust foundation for our clients to achieve their own operational certifications from relevant health, environmental, or industrial authorities.
Applications: Versatility Across Sectors
The adaptability of our platform makes it suitable for a vast array of critical applications. A mobile environmental laboratory can monitor pollution events, conduct water quality testing at remote sites, or perform agricultural soil analysis. As a mobile medical laboratory, it can serve as a rapid response unit for disease outbreak investigation, a decentralized blood testing and pathology hub, or a vaccination campaign support unit. Industrial applications include on-site quality control for food production, forensic analysis at incident scenes, and materials testing for construction and engineering projects.
