JP Containers specialises in the design and manufacture of containerised laboratories and mobile laboratory containers for defence, environmental testing, research and industrial applications.
Built within robust ISO single use recycled shipping containers, our laboratory modules provide fully functional technical environments, that can be easily transported almost anywhere in the world. Each of our laboratory containers is engineered to meet demanding operational requirements. These include climate control, equipment integration, power distribution and secure working conditions.
Our engineering team works closely with defence contractors, research institutions, universities and infrastructure organisations. This enables us to deliver high-specification laboratory modules that perform reliably in both controlled facilities and remote field environments.
Whether you require a mobile forensic laboratory, technical analysis facility or modular testing environment, JP Containers can design a containerised laboratory solution tailored to your project.
Mobile Laboratory Containers for Defence and Government
Containerised laboratories are commonly used in defence and government applications. Rapid deployment, durability and availability are some of the main reasons for this popularity.
The ability to setup controlled environments quickly is another essential requirement for military operations. A containerised laboratory can be transported rapidly and easily by road, sea or air. This enables highly specialised analytical facilities to be deployed directly to operational locations anywhere in the world!
Common defence applications include:
Technical Intelligence Analysis Laboratories
Container laboratories can be configured to support technical intelligence gathering and analysis. Workstations, equipment racks and controlled environments allow analysts to examine electronic devices, materials or components safely and discreetly.
Forensic Exploitation Laboratories
Used to examine materials, devices and evidence recovered during operations. These facilities often include specialised analytical equipment, secure workstations and contamination control systems.
Weapons Testing and Evaluation Laboratories
Some containerised laboratory modules are designed to support testing and evaluation processes, including controlled experiments and materials analysis. Containers robust structure make them ideal for this use.
JP Containers engineers and builds laboratory containers that meet all the strict operational and security requirements often associated with the above applications.
Mobile Laboratories for Research and Scientific Testing
Beyond defence projects, containerised laboratories are widely used in research and scientific environments where mobility and controlled laboratory conditions are required.
Organisations that frequently use container laboratories include:
- Universities and research institutions
- Environmental monitoring teams
- Pharmaceutical research organisations
- Infrastructure and materials testing companies
Our mobile laboratory containers allow researchers to move around locations and conduct immediate testing directly in the field. This eliminates the need to transport sensitive samples over long distances.
Typical research applications include:
- Environmental monitoring laboratories
- Water testing laboratories
- Mobile analytical chemistry labs
- Materials testing laboratories
Engineering High Specification Laboratory Containers
Every laboratory container manufactured by JP Containers is designed as a fully engineered technical facility rather than a simple container conversion. Our design process focuses on integrating the equipment and infrastructure required for specialised laboratory work.
All essential systems including electrical distribution, lighting, storage, chemical-resistant work surfaces and wash facilities are integrated by our engineers.
Additional specifications such as specialist ventilation, bunded flooring and blast-resistant construction can be incorporated to meet project-specific requirements.
Typical laboratory container features include:
HVAC and Environmental Control
Precise environmental control is critical for many laboratory operations.
Containerised laboratories can include:
- HVAC climate control systems
- Temperature regulation
- Humidity control
- Filtration systems
These systems ensure that laboratory equipment and sensitive experiments operate within stable environmental conditions.
Laboratory Equipment Integration
Many container laboratories are designed around the equipment they must house.
JP Containers can integrate:
- Laboratory benches and workstations
- Instrument mounting systems
- Equipment racks
- Specialist testing apparatus
Each layout is designed to maximise efficiency and safe working practices.
Electrical and Power Systems
Container laboratories require reliable power infrastructure.
Systems may include:
- Distributed power systems
- UPS backup power
- Equipment isolation
- External power connections
This allows the laboratory to operate either within permanent facilities or in remote environments.
Secure and Controlled Access
Laboratory modules may also require additional security features such as:
- Restricted access doors
- Reinforced structures
- Secure equipment mounting
- Internal monitoring systems
These features are often required for government or high-value research projects.
Mobile Laboratory Containers for Field Deployment
One of the major advantages of containerised laboratories is their ability to be deployed rapidly to remote or temporary locations.
Because the laboratory is built within a standard ISO container, it can be transported easily using existing logistics infrastructure.
This makes containerised laboratories ideal for:
- Field research projects
- Disaster response analysis
- Eenvironmental monitoring programmes
- Defence deployments
Once delivered to site, the container laboratory can be operational in a very short time.
Bespoke Laboratory Container Design
Every laboratory project has different technical requirements. JP Containers therefore designs each container laboratory as a bespoke engineered solution.
Our design process typically includes:
- final testing and commissioning
- concept development
- equipment layout design
- environmental system design
- fabrication and installation
This ensures the finished containerised laboratory performs exactly as required for the intended application.
Why Shipping Containers are Ideal for Laboratory Modules
ISO shipping containers provide an ideal structural platform for mobile laboratories.
Advantages include:
Structural Strength
Shipping containers are designed to withstand extreme transport conditions, providing a robust enclosure for sensitive equipment.
Transportability
Container laboratories can be transported using standard shipping and logistics systems worldwide.
Modular Design
Multiple laboratory containers can be combined to create larger modular facilities.
Rapid Deployment
Because the laboratory is built and tested off-site, installation times are significantly reduced.
