Mobile Laboratory Services for On-Site Cleanliness Verification
Astro Pak’s mobile laboratories provide a controlled, monitored environment for on-site cleanliness verification during field projects. These mobile labs enable technicians to perform NVR testing, particle counts, and surface cleanliness inspections directly at the job site, minimizing delays associated with off-site sample transport and supporting same-day confirmation that cleanliness requirements have been met.
While not ISO-certified cleanrooms, Astro Pak mobile labs are operated as clean zones using defined protocols, HEPA-filtered air handling and environmental controls to reduce contamination risk and support defensible cleanliness verification in demanding field environments.
Our mobile labs are engineered to support aerospace, defense, semiconductor, energy, and other industries where contamination control is critical. Each unit provides a cleaner, controlled environment that helps minimize external contamination risks during sample preparation and analysis.
Designed for Field Deployment
Astro Pak’s mobile lab units are compact, transportable testing environments built for deployment at active job sites. The internal layout supports efficient workflows for cleanliness verification and sample handling while maintaining a cleaner environment than typical field conditions.
Each mobile lab is purpose-built for use in active industrial and aerospace environments and incorporates operational controls that support on-site cleanliness verification, including:
- Controlled interior workspace designed to function as a clean zone
- Differential pressure monitoring to manage airflow and minimize ingress of contaminants
- Environmental monitoring, including temperature and humidity tracking where required
- Routine particle counts and wipe-down protocols, typically performed daily prior to operations
- Integrated storage for solvents, consumables, and instrumentation
- HEPA filtration for airborne particulate control
- Integrated utilities, storage, and work surfaces for analytical equipment and consumables
- Compact footprint suitable for congested or space-constrained job sites
Mobile labs are deployed as part of Astro Pak’s on-site service offerings and are not available as standalone rental units. These labs are owned and operated by Astro Pak and are deployed with Astro Pak teams to support precision cleaning, flushing, and passivation projects, enabling same-day cleanliness verification aligned with customer and industry standards.
On-Site Testing Capabilities
Astro Pak’s mobile labs allow teams to perform high-fidelity cleanliness verification directly at the job site, including:
NVR (Non-Volatile Residue) Testing
Astro Pak performs on-site NVR testing to quantify residual oils, greases, and other organic contaminants present on critical hardware. This testing supports verification requirements for precision cleaning, high-purity system work, and flushing operations, allowing teams to validate system cleanliness without sending samples off-site.
Particle Count & Fiber Analysis
Our mobile labs provide on-site particle and fiber counting aligned with applicable aerospace and cleanliness standards. Technicians can quickly determine whether hardware meets required acceptance criteria for propulsion components, aerospace assemblies, critical fluid systems, and other contamination-sensitive assets.
Surface Cleanliness Verification
Astro Pak also performs direct surface cleanliness inspections and documentation at the job site. Technicians deliver immediate pass/fail evaluations based on customer specifications or industry standards, helping teams confirm cleanliness and resolve issues without delay.

Frequently Asked Questions
An Astro Pak mobile lab is a compact, controlled testing environment deployed to field locations for on-site cleanliness verification. It supports NVR analysis, particle counts, and surface cleanliness inspections without transporting samples to an off-site laboratory.
Mobile labs are used when field cleaning, flushing, passivation, or derouging projects require immediate cleanliness verification at the job site. They are not ISO-certified cleanrooms but provide a controlled clean zone that reduces contamination risk during sample handling and analysis.
Technicians can perform non-volatile residue (NVR) testing, particle counting, fiber enumeration, and visual surface cleanliness verification aligned with customer or industry acceptance criteria.
In many cases, yes. On-site testing provides immediate verification, minimizes transport-related delays, and reduces the risk of sample contamination. Off-site laboratory analysis may still be used for specialized or high-precision requirements.
No. Astro Pak mobile labs are not available for rent. They are owned and operated by Astro Pak and deployed exclusively with Astro Pak’s field service offerings when cleanliness verification is required at the job site.
