Frequently Asked Questions About Lab & Medical Moving
Common questions from Mission Bay biotech and healthcare companies planning a relocation.
Ontrack Moving handles the agreed packing, transport and placement of laboratory equipment. Before the move, confirm the equipment list, facility access and any preparation or specialist work with the lab and building teams. The laboratory remains responsible for its sample plan and equipment release.
Agree the packing, access and handoff arrangements for patient records with the practice before moving day. Identify who retains custody and which records or handling logs the practice requires in the written scope. Your IT team handles electronic records and system access.
The laboratory sets the requirements for specimens, reagents and other temperature-sensitive materials. Confirm suitable storage or transport arrangements, monitoring responsibilities and any specialist provider before agreeing the move. These requirements are separate from ordinary equipment transport.
Ontrack Moving® handles the building side of Mission Bay moves. Lab and medical buildings each set their own move requirements. We handle the building-side coordination, including freight elevator reservations, loading dock scheduling, COI submissions, and compliance with after-hours move restrictions. Our team is familiar with the requirements at major Mission Bay addresses.

Yes. We understand that research cannot always pause for a move. We offer phased relocations, weekend and overnight scheduling, and careful coordination with your research team. For critical instruments, plan preparation and return-to-use checks with the lab and equipment vendors before setting the move window.
Plan the freezer move from the instructions for its exact model and the laboratory-approved sample plan. Confirm preparation, handling, restart conditions and destination readiness with the lab and qualified service providers. Sample storage or transport, monitoring and any power requirements need separate arrangements in the written scope.
