Do DSLR sensor cleaning service also do astroCCD cameras?

What the title says, the QHY8 I received from IIS has wayy too many black spots and flats can only do so much. I tried using the blower on both the IR filter and the sensor itself, it dislodged some but still left a significant amount of spots. So what I'm wondering is if dslr sensor cleaning services will also clean ccd sensors from a QHY8 around the same price.

If you're willing to use a blower on it, using some isopropyl alcohol and a lens tissue isn't that much more of a step. Even if you do get it cleaned they will come back quickly enough. At the end of the day though, your always gonna get the dust bunnies and if done right your flats should completely eliminate them.

I just did a quick search and found the pdf file for the QHY8 user manual, and on page 8 it tells you how to clean the sensor. Seems pretty easy.
Try searching.
