International Lab Relocation

Research Should Have No Boundaries!
In today’s Research Environment, laboratories and researchers may be required to relocate. Relocations of this scope do pose unique sets of obstacles that need to be overcome. They are often Time Sensitive (particularly when biological items are involved) and need to be logistically planned so that materials are expedited to their destination with minimal delay.

HCR is a proven expert in this field.
We can be instrumental in obtaining necessary documentation required by various government offices.

We can assist in allocating values to all materials and items for the purpose of duties and tariffs that may be required by customs.
We specialize in the packing and transportation of fragile/sensitive laboratory equipment, regardless of the form of conveyance. 
Temperature Sensitive Items need to be transported in a manner that maintains their desired environment. HCR has a wealth of experience in handling, packing and transporting these types of materials.

Some examples of International Lab Moves that we have accomplished;

July 2005 - Mayo Clinic, Minneapolis, MN. to Mayo Clinic, Pheonix, AZ.

Jan. 2008 - Relocation of 1 researcher (Dr. Seema Mital) from Columbia University Presbyterian Hospital, New York, NY to Sick Kids Hospital MacMaster Research Bldg. Toronto, Ontario. Canada. This move involved moving Dr. Mital's office contents and frozen biological specimens.

May 2008 - Relocation of lab from Harvard University. Boston, MA to The Toronto Medical Discovery Tower(TMDT) and Princess Margaret Hospital, Toronto, Ontario. Canada. This move involved relocating Dr. Ben Neel and his staff's lab equipment, frozen biologicals and office materials.

Dec. 2008 - Relocation of 1 researcher (Dr. Mark Palmert) from Ohio Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH to Sickkids, Toronto, Ontario, Canada This move involved moving Dr. Palmert's office contents and frozen biological specimens.

May 2009 - Relocation of 1 researcher(Dr. Nadeem Moghal) from Huntsman Cancer Institute, Salt Lake City, Utah to TMDT, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This move involved moving Dr. Moghal's office contents and frozen biological specimens.

Aug. 2009 - Relocation of 1 researcher (Dr. Lakshmi Kotra) from University of North Carolina at Greensboro to TMDT, Toronto, ON. This move involved moving Dr. Kotra's office contents and synthetic compounds (reagents).
