Lab relocation examples
Laboratory relocation is a core competency at OneSource. We’ve focused on it, invested in training, built a process, and we’ve been doing it for years.
We are skilled in addressing the unique needs of each laboratory – including yours. Examples of some large-scale laboratory relocations:
- A consumer products manufacturer selected OneSource to move over 25,000 temperature sensitive samples. These were transported using a climate-controlled trailer and were monitored for temperature deviation. More than 200 pieces of laboratory equipment including HPLC, GC, spectrophotometers, incubators, autoclaves, ovens, refrigerators, and hoods were included in the move.
- A medical products manufacturer selected OneSource to move a GLP / GMP facility with more than 1,000 instruments (including more than 140 research / QA instruments) to a new state-of-the-art 180,000 sq. ft. facility. Included in this move was the transportation of restricted samples kept in -80°C, -20°C and 4°C freezers and refrigerators.
- A manufacturer chose OneSource to move multi-site R&D lab facilities into a new state-of-the-art 550,000 square foot facility – and also to help transition the company to meet regulatory compliance guidelines. Today, OneSource continues to provide multi-vendor service and qualification.
- A large chemical manufacturer selected OneSource to move 800 pieces of laboratory equipment from New Jersey to North Carolina, including HPLCs, LC-MS, GC-MS, spectrophotometers, refrigerators, freezers, hoods and other lab equipment.
