Our key feature is portability and mobility. Specially designed unique mobile laboratory has no equivalent in Lithuania. Lab on the wheels and fully portable modern equipment allows us to come to an art object at any location, and examine an object right in the mobile lab studio or in situ (in case if the object is over-sized or immovable).

And of course, it makes the investigation methods of this kind easier obtainable all over the country and abroad.
