How do you protect samples and equipment in Phoenix summer heat?

We plan cold-chain transport, conditioned vehicles where needed, and short staging times, and we often schedule summer moves for early morning. Temperature limits and backup resources are agreed with you before the move.

Do you move semiconductor and technology research labs as well as life sciences labs?

Yes. We relocate analytical, electronics and advanced manufacturing research labs as well as biotech and clinical labs. Cleanroom moves follow the procedures your contamination-control program requires.

Can you move labs between Phoenix, Tempe and the East Valley?

Yes. Moves across the Valley are common. We plan access and sequencing at both sites and schedule travel to keep time on the road and on loading docks short.

How far in advance should we plan a laboratory relocation?

Planning should begin as early as possible, particularly for moves involving cold-chain materials, hazardous chemicals, cleanrooms, large instruments, multiple vendors, or restricted building access. The ideal lead time depends on the size and complexity of the project. A smaller equipment move may require far less preparation than a phased relocation of an operating research facility.

Can you move a laboratory within the same building or campus?

Yes. Laboratory Movers can support internal relocations, floor-to-floor moves, building-to-building campus transfers, renovation-related moves, and complete off-site relocations.

Do you disconnect and reconnect laboratory instruments?

The answer depends on the instrument and the project scope. Some tasks can be coordinated by the moving team, while sensitive instruments may require shutdown, decommissioning, recommissioning, calibration, or certification by the manufacturer or a qualified service provider. These responsibilities are defined during planning.

Do you handle laboratory chemicals?

We can support the planning and compliant transportation of eligible laboratory chemicals and supplies. Materials must be identified and evaluated in advance. Some substances may require specialized documentation, packaging, carriers, permits, or separate disposition and may not be transportable as part of the general move.

Laboratory Relocation Across Phoenix, Tempe, Chandler and Scottsdale

Research in the Phoenix area is spread across the Valley, from the Phoenix Bioscience Core downtown to Arizona State University in Tempe, clinical research in Phoenix and Scottsdale, and semiconductor and advanced manufacturing research in Chandler and north Phoenix. Lab moves here have to deal with long distances across the metro and some of the hottest summer conditions of any major U.S. city. Laboratory Movers provides laboratory relocation services throughout the Phoenix area for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, universities, hospitals, clinical laboratories and technology research facilities.

Whether you are moving a single instrument across a campus, relocating a research group into a new building downtown, or moving a lab to Tempe, Chandler or Scottsdale, we build the move plan around your equipment, materials, schedule and facility requirements.

Specialized Support for Phoenix
Laboratory Relocations

Heat is the defining factor for Phoenix lab moves. Summer afternoon temperatures regularly pass 105°F, which affects cold-chain materials, heat-sensitive reagents and electronics, and the time equipment can safely sit on a dock or in a vehicle. Summer monsoon storms can also bring dust and sudden heavy rain. Many moves are best scheduled for early morning, with short staging times and conditioned transport.

Laboratory Movers coordinates those details before move day. Planning can include equipment inventories, access reviews at both sites, move sequencing, specialized packing, cold-chain transport, placement at the destination, and coordination with your facilities team, environmental health and safety (EHS) staff and instrument service providers. We agree on temperature limits, staging times and weather contingencies with you before the move date.

Full Laboratory Relocation

We provide end-to-end support for laboratory moves of varying size and complexity. Each project begins with a detailed assessment of the origin and destination facilities, the equipment and materials being moved, access limitations, required timelines, and the responsibilities of each party. From packing and labeling through transportation and final placement, the move is organized in phases designed to reduce confusion and downtime.

Pre-move surveys, scope development, and relocation planning
Equipment and contents inventories
Move sequencing by department, room, workstream, or priority
Specialized packing, labeling, transport, and destination placement
Coordination with laboratory managers, facilities teams, EHS personnel, vendors, and other stakeholders
Phased, after-hours, and time-sensitive moving options when project conditions require them

Scientific and Laboratory
Equipment Moving

Sensitive scientific instruments can be affected by shock, vibration, tilting, moisture, and improper handling. Our crews use equipment-specific packing and material-handling methods to protect high-value assets during internal moves, local relocations, and long-distance transport. We also coordinate with original equipment manufacturers or qualified service technicians when an instrument requires professional shutdown, decommissioning, calibration, or recommissioning.

Equipment may include centrifuges, microscopes, spectrometers, HPLC systems, PCR machines, biosafety cabinets, glove boxes, incubators, imaging systems, microplate readers, pumps, sterilizers, water baths, and other standard or specialized laboratory assets.

Cryogenic and Temperature
Controlled Transport

Biological specimens, reagents, cell lines, tissue samples, and other temperature-sensitive materials require an uninterrupted plan from origin to destination. Laboratory Movers supports temperature-controlled transport at commonly required ranges, including refrigerated, frozen, ultra-low-temperature, and cryogenic conditions. Project requirements determine the packaging, equipment, monitoring, backup resources, documentation, and handoff procedures used for the move.

Transport planning for +4°C, -20°C, -80°C, and cryogenic materials
Real-time temperature monitoring appropriate to the project
Backup power and at-temperature contingency planning
Chain-of-custody and handoff coordination
Relocation of freezers containing frozen biological or cryogenic specimens when conditions permit

Cleanroom and Contamination
Controlled Moves

Cleanroom and controlled-environment relocations require procedures that support the facility’s contamination-control program. We work with laboratory and facilities personnel to establish approved routes, packing materials, equipment preparation requirements, staging areas, and destination protocols. The scope can be adapted to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, and other regulated or high-control environments.

Laboratory Chemicals and
Supplies Handling

Chemicals, compressed gases, reagents, and regulated materials must be evaluated before they are packed or transported. Our team coordinates with the client’s environmental health and safety personnel to classify materials, identify items that cannot be moved as packed, establish documentation and segregation requirements, and plan compliant transportation. Handling and transport are performed according to the requirements applicable to the specific material and route, including relevant U.S. Department of Transportation and workplace safety standards.

Small Equipment Moves,
Packing and Storage

Not every project is a full laboratory relocation. We also support targeted instrument moves, specialized packing and crating, temporary staging, and secure short- or long-term storage. These services can help when a new instrument is delivered, a laboratory is renovated in phases, equipment must be transferred between campuses, or a facility’s opening date changes.

A Planned Process from
Assessment Through Placement

1. Discovery and Site Assessment: We review the project scope, facilities, equipment, materials, timing, access conditions, and stakeholders. Early identification of freight-elevator reservations, loading restrictions, utility disconnections, doorway clearances, and temperature-control requirements helps prevent avoidable delays.
2. Inventory and Move Planning: The project is organized into a documented move plan. Equipment and contents are grouped by destination, risk, handling requirement, and operational priority. Responsibilities for shutdown, preparation, packing, transport, installation, and verification are assigned before execution.
3. Preparation and Specialized Packing: Assets are prepared and packed using methods appropriate to their size, sensitivity, and transport conditions. Items are labeled to support accountability and correct placement at the destination.
4. Controlled Transportation: The move is executed according to the approved sequence, with specialized equipment and temperature-control resources used where required. Communication remains active among the move team, facility contacts, and receiving personnel.
5. Delivery and Destination Placement: Equipment and contents are delivered to their assigned rooms or positions. Where applicable, Laboratory Movers coordinates placement with technicians responsible for reconnecting, calibrating, certifying, or qualifying the equipment.
