The new OneSource laboratory relocation service is designed to handle the complex and time-consuming burdens laboratories face when moving equipment from one location to another.
Due to a financial pressure or need for expansion, many pharma companies are downsizing or consolidating their lab facilities. The types of equipment in these labs generally require the most delicate packaging and protection during shipment to maintain their system integrity.
PerkinElmer said it can assist customer with total transportation and logistics services to insure the items arrive on time and in working order.
In addition, the service is available globally to facilitate the move of all laboratory equipment regardless of technology or manufacturer.
"OneSource can take care of every aspect of a relocation to enable scientists to keep their focus on the science," said Joseph Tehrani, global business leader of validation and relocation solutions at PerkinElmer.
"We take away the headaches - from pre-testing and inspection of equipment before a move through shipping, set-up and qualification testing."
He added that the turnkey relocation service also includes preventive maintenance, as well as moving of chemicals and samples, and installation, qualification and commissioning at the new location.
"We streamline the process for customers - whether they're a large pharmaceutical company or a small contract lab," Tehrani added.
He said that while any relocation is complex, organisations in heavily regulated environments, such as pharmaceutical companies, have the added need to document their process in a very deliberate fashion to ensure continued compliance.
"That's no simple task, particularly when working with customised equipment from multiple vendors. Our experts remove this burden, enabling customers to focus on the pace and precision of their research and testing."
