How much does it cost to move a laboratory in Orlando?

It depends on the size of the lab, the equipment inventory, packing, distance, special handling, building access and schedule. We prepare a project-specific estimate after reviewing the equipment, materials and what the move involves.

How far in advance should a laboratory relocation be planned?

As early as you can, especially with sensitive instruments, frozen materials or equipment that needs the manufacturer involved. Early planning leaves time to build the inventory, book vendors, arrange transport and coordinate with the receiving lab.

Can you transport frozen biological materials?

Yes. We plan transport for frozen biological samples and temperature-sensitive research materials. Our completed interstate projects include ultra-low-temperature materials moved with cold-chain equipment and monitoring.

Can you move scientific instruments and specialized lab equipment?

Yes. We move analytical instruments, lab freezers, centrifuges, incubators and specialized research machinery. Each item is reviewed beforehand to decide packing, handling and any vendor involvement.

Do you serve Lake Nona and the University of Central Florida area?

Yes. We serve all of Greater Orlando, including Lake Nona, East Orlando and the UCF area, with moves for university labs, hospital research facilities, biotech companies and commercial labs.

Can you relocate a laboratory from Orlando to another state?

Yes. We run interstate and long-distance lab moves to research destinations nationwide, including packing, transport planning, delivery scheduling and coordination with the destination facility.

Can laboratory equipment be placed in storage during a move?

Yes. We can stage or store equipment and lab contents. What's needed depends on how sensitive the equipment is, how long it's stored, when the new space is ready and whether special conditions are required.

Frozen Biological Materials
and Temperature-Sensitive Transport

Lab moves often include specimens, research samples and other materials that have to stay within a set temperature range the whole way.

Depending on the project, planning can include dry ice, ultra-low-temperature storage, temperature monitoring, the right shipping containers and chain-of-custody records. We’ve completed interstate shipments of frozen biological research materials, including the cross-country move in our University of Chicago case study.

Packing, Crating, Storage
and Long-Distance Moves

Instruments need more protection than ordinary freight. We pack and crate based on size, weight, sensitivity and the trip ahead, with photographic inventories, labeling and a planned loading order. Storage and staging are available when equipment moves in phases or the new lab isn’t ready.

We run interstate moves between Orlando and research destinations nationwide, and our completed projects have involved research organizations in Massachusetts, Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Texas, Ohio, Indiana and California.

Lake Nona
Medical City

Lake Nona is one of Central Florida’s main medical and biomedical research centers. It includes the UCF College of Medicine, the Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences, the University of Florida Research and Academic Center, Nemours Children’s Hospital and the Orlando VA Medical Center.

Moves here can involve sensitive instruments, medical equipment, frozen biological materials and coordination with university or hospital facility management.

UCF, East Orlando and the
Central Florida Research Park

The University of Central Florida is the area’s largest research university, with programs in biomedical sciences, engineering, materials science, optics and photonics, and simulation. Its main campus and the nearby Central Florida Research Park hold academic labs and technology companies.

Campus moves usually mean working with facilities, research departments, equipment vendors and building management on access and timing.

Downtown Orlando and
Greater Central Florida

Downtown Orlando and the surrounding medical districts are home to Orlando Health and AdventHealth, which support clinical research, diagnostics and medical education. Moves in hospital settings have to work around facility access, receiving schedules and active clinical operations.

Research also extends into Winter Park, Maitland, Altamonte Springs, Sanford, Kissimmee and the rest of Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties.

a Laboratory in Orlando

Heat, humidity and temperature-sensitive materials. Central Florida’s heat and humidity matter when instruments and samples sit on a dock or in a truck. We plan loading times, transit time, required temperatures and environmental protection for each shipment.

University and medical facility access. Campus and hospital labs can have restricted loading areas, tight equipment paths and short delivery windows. We confirm building access, freight elevators, receiving procedures, equipment dimensions and approvals ahead of time.

Storms and hurricane season. Heavy rain, thunderstorms and hurricane season can push schedules around. Each plan includes weather contingencies, especially for equipment or materials that need steady conditions.

University of Chicago to Los Angeles: frozen research materials

We moved frozen biological samples from the University of Chicago to a receiving lab in Los Angeles using cold-chain transport, temperature monitoring and documented handoffs. The shipment arrived without sample loss or temperature deviation. Read the University of Chicago case study.

Pennsylvania to Dallas: university battery research lab

We also completed an interstate university lab move from Pennsylvania to Dallas, Texas, including battery research equipment, testing machinery, lab furnaces, vacuum equipment and analytical instruments, with protective packing and detailed inventories.
