Bespoke Mobile Sample Preparation Solutions
Alfred H Knight (AHK) provides containerised Mobile Sample Preparation Units (MSPS) engineered for high-volume delivery in the most demanding environments. Unlike standard temporary setups, our units are fully integrated facilities, supported by our Regional Quality Assurance teams and Group R&D departments. This ensures that even in remote locations, your preparation remains aligned with global laboratory standards.
Supporting Projects in Remote and Challenging Environments

- Greenfield Exploration: Establishing immediate geochemical data streams.
