you are apsolutely right , every user or atleast core industries must have a on site lab (FOR SURE !) - we are looking for good economical vendours who can provide equipment for wear debris analysis , TAN / TBN , water content , Viscosity etc...

I think this statement is a bit overboard. In fact, only few industries and companies can justify expense of having decent onsite lab (instrumentation and analyst). To have a particle counter on site is OK, but ICP, RULER, FTIR, equipment for microscopy analysis, viscometer, potentiometric titrator, Karl Fisher setup,, etc, and a full time analyst trained to run all that equipment? It is La La Land for most in the industry, unless they simultaneously add a commercial aspect to this testing. Sending sample to commercial testing labs is and will remain the preferred way in the industry for a long time.
