Specialized Laboratory Logistics & Moving Services

Unlike residential or office moves, lab logistics demand regulatory compliance, scientific knowledge, and meticulous coordination. Attempting a lab move with an unqualified mover can lead to damaged equipment, loss of samples, non-compliance penalties, or dangerous spills.

OneRelo Worldwide has the certifications, equipment, and experience to ensure your laboratory is moved safely, efficiently, and within all regulatory standards.

Comprehensive Lab Relocation Solutions

Every lab is different, which is why we offer tailored lab relocation services based on your equipment, materials, and operational needs. Our services are ideal for:

• Biotech companies
• Pharmaceutical firms
• University and academic labs
• Government and defense research centers
• Private R&D facilities
• Medical and diagnostic laboratories

Pre-Move Planning & Consultation

We begin with an in-depth consultation to assess your inventory, space layout, special equipment needs, and compliance requirements. Our project manager works with your team to create a step-by-step move plan, including timeline, labeling protocols, packing lists, and security measures.

Equipment Handling & Transport

From autoclaves and laminar flow hoods to microscopes and gas cylinders, we handle lab equipment using anti-static packing materials, foam crating, shock-absorbent pallets, and lift-gate trucks. Delicate instruments are transported with zero-vibration systems, and all assets are logged through our inventory tracking system.

Chemical & Hazardous Material Transport

We are trained in DOT and OSHA-compliant transport of biological specimens, radioactive materials, reagents, and chemicals. We provide SDS review, spill kits, placards, and proper manifest documentation.

Cold Chain Logistics

For materials requiring refrigeration or freezing, our temperature-controlled transport solutions ensure continuous cold chain custody. We use insulated packaging, real-time temperature monitoring, and emergency protocols in case of delays or malfunctions.

Asset Tracking & Chain of Custody

All lab items are scanned, logged, and tracked throughout the relocation. Chain-of-custody documentation is maintained for high-value and sensitive assets, ensuring full visibility from origin to destination.

Deinstallation & Reinstallation

We offer assistance with the disassembly and reinstallation of lab furniture, benchtop systems, and mounted equipment. Recalibration support is available through our certified vendor partners.

Regulatory Compliance & Safety First

OneRelo Worldwide places regulatory compliance and safety at the center of every laboratory move. Our teams follow all relevant guidelines and maintain necessary certifications to ensure your lab relocation meets federal, state, and local requirements.

We comply with:

• OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration)
• DOT (Department of Transportation)
• EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)
• CDC and NIH specimen transport standards
• FDA guidelines (if applicable to your research materials)
• IATA for air shipment of biological or hazardous samples

We also coordinate with your in-house EH&S (Environmental Health & Safety) teams to ensure move readiness and compliance with internal protocols.
