The challenge
Whether expanding into a new space, renovating, moving operations, combining laboratories or
decommissioning a facility, laboratory relocation is always a challenge. No two lab moves are the
same and nothing is routine.

CRYOPDP has experience moving cryogenic and deep frozen biomaterials within countries and
across the globe.

Best safety conditions
Transfer of an entire (or partial) cryogenic biological collection from Point A (Origin) to Point B
(Destination) in a defined delay of time ensuring best safety conditions for biological samples.

Logistics and temperature

Logistic coordination and temperature monitoring.

Risk mitigation planning

A risk assessment is always done before each service to ensure a full operational control.

Equipment rental and leasing

CRYOPDP’s Lab Move service supports customers from start to finish. If a laboratory move
itself takes only a few days to complete from lab-to-lab, the entire project may extend over a three-
to four-months timeframe, encompassing seven stages:

1. The service request is received from the customer

2. Asset management (including vessels and trucks)
3. Setup of operations flow and vessels qualification
4. Safety visit to both origin and destination labs
5. Agreement on T&C and commercial specifications of the solution
6. The accordance of date and final setups
7. Lab Move goes live

Our solution delivers

• Transfer of complete Cryopreservation room
• Local or international transfer
• From a single sample to 100,000 samples
• Disaster recovery
