A large chemical manufacturer selected a OneSource solution 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.
A medical products manufacturer selected a OneSource solution 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. The move also entailed transporting restricted samples from -80°C, -20°C and 4°C freezers and refrigerators.
The consolidation of certain industries and the expansion of others create the need to move laboratory and process equipment or complete laboratories to different locations. OneSource minimizes the impact of moving, reducing lab downtime and limiting distractions, by offering complete laboratory relocation services. We move equipment or entire laboratories across the street or across the globe. We take full responsibility for all aspects of the move from planning, documenting and decommissioning to packing, moving and recommissioning. We’re experienced master contractors, but we’re also good at working as part of a team that includes your internal resources or other external providers.
Our project management experts will ensure the move achieves timelines, and our technical experts will ensure your equipment is safely moved and re-commissioned in its new location. We’ll oversee the proper handling or disposal of hazardous wastes, chemical inventories, and lab samples. We’ll also address any physical obstacles in your move, such as moving oversized equipment in buildings with limited exit and entry points. We move a lot of equipment for laboratories subject to regulatory control and utilize our multi-vendor qualification expertise to qualify equipment pre-move and post-move, minimizing any risk to compliance.
You may have some assets you don’t want to move to the new location because they are no longer needed or used. PerkinElmer can help you to recover some of the value of these assets by disposing of them in the open market. OneSource asset recoveryservices can be built right into the relocation project eliminating the headache of what to do with these assets, but also generating revenue to offset some of the cost of relocation.
