What Is a mobile laboratory from Expandable?
Expandable’s mobile laboratories are advanced, self-contained units that serve as fully functional workspaces for scientific, medical, or diagnostic operations. These labs are engineered for rapid deployment and come equipped with all the infrastructure required to operate in remote or high-demand environments.
Our labs are built using a modular architecture, allowing for quick assembly, disassembly, and transportation. Each unit is based on one of our customizable platforms—Touchdown, Trailer, or Pod—offering the flexibility to meet diverse operational needs.
They are suitable for a wide range of applications, including mobile testing stations, clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutical development, and on-site research. Each configuration can be tailored with lab equipment, utilities, and workspaces to suit specific use cases.
Product options for your mobile lab environment
The Touchdown is engineered for quick setup with high-end comfort. It features automatic leveling, retractable axles, and elegant interior finishes. Its compact yet powerful design allows easy deployment and can include integrated benches, equipment stations, and climate control.
The Trailer offers 62 square meters of surface area and can be fully operational in just 15 minutes. It expands to more than double its transport size and is easily set up by one person, making it ideal for larger lab setups with minimal crew requirements.
The Pod is available in three sizes: 25ft, 30ft, and 44ft. It’s a space-efficient solution for mobile laboratory needs in compact environments. Despite its smaller footprint, the Pod can be equipped with full lab functionality and utilities, making it a flexible option for rapid deployment.
