Lab Move Solutions for safe and secure laboratory relocations
Relocating pharmaceutical, biotech, or clinical laboratories involves handling high volumes of sensitive or irreplaceable samples, typically under temperature-controlled conditions.
This specialised discipline requires dedicated expertise and tailored planning, monitoring, analysis, packaging, and security capabilities. These together form a service offering tailored to research and clinical laboratory needs.
Laboratory relocation challenges
Safely and securely relocating laboratories to new or upgraded premises involves a series of complex challenges, primarily preserving the clinical and scientific integrity of lab samples.
These challenges become even more critical during long-distance or international relocations and include:
- Simultaneously moving large volumes of biological and other samples, the majority of which are temperature-sensitive.
- Capability to handle ultra-low temperature (-86oC) products that are usually kept in ULT or cryogenic freezers.
- Risk of temperature fluctuations compromising sample quality during transit.
- Maintaining adequate tracking and real-time monitoring capabilities is necessary during the lab move process.
- Risk management and contingency planning for disaster recovery in case of disruption by external events.
- Careful planning, coordination, and resource allocation are necessary to eliminate risks of disorganisation or missed deadlines, which can lead to costly delays or damage.
- Requirements for specialised equipment and expertise in handling temperature-sensitive consignments.
- Maintaining compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), CE IIa medical marking for human biological samples, and other relevant regulations.
- Obtaining necessary permits for transporting controlled and biological material.
- Moving fragile and sensitive scientific instrumentation.
- Moving delicate and expensive biologicals requires specialised skills to prevent damage and ensure sample integrity.
- Reducing laboratory downtime to an absolute minimum to reduce the impact on vital R&D projects.
