Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm Pacific. After-hours and weekend biotech lab moves available. Written estimate before any work begins.
A lab move is a scientific continuity problem. Instrument sensitivity, cold chain, and QA sign-off make it different from any office move.
A laboratory relocation is not a commercial move that happens to include lab benches. It involves calibrated instruments that may require vendor decommissioning before transport and requalification after placement, cold chain assets with hard tolerance windows, regulated materials that require documented handling, capital equipment registers that require item-level reconciliation, and a restart sequence that only completes after instruments are back in service. CG Moving Company plans every lab move around these constraints before any equipment moves.
Instrument calibration, cold chain windows, regulated materials, and asset accountability must all be planned before move day.
Calibrated and validated equipment may require OEM decommissioning before transport and IQ/OQ/PQ requalification after placement. Moving it "carefully" is not the same as moving it correctly.
Samples and reagents at controlled temperatures have a hard tolerance for time out of storage. The move plan is built backwards from that window, not forwards from a convenient schedule.
Chemical, biological, and radiological materials each carry their own transport and documentation requirements. These are coordinated between the client EHS team and CG Moving Company before move day.
Capital equipment registers, grant-funded asset tracking, and insurance schedules all require item-level inventory reconciliation at both origin and destination. CG Moving Company documents every item at pickup and confirms delivery at placement.
CG Moving provides lab equipment, cold chain, pharma, and SSF corridor moves. See each sub-page for full scope.
The following sub-pages cover each type of biotech or lab relocation in detail. Each page includes scope, process, cost factors, and credentials specific to that service type.
Analytical instruments, benchtop equipment, centrifuges, fume hoods, and research assets. Item-level inventory at origin and destination.
GMP facilities, QA-validated labs, cold chain, pharma warehouses, and headquarters moves. QA and OEM coordination included.
Ultra-low freezers, cryogenic storage, liquid nitrogen systems, and refrigerated incubators. Move plans built around temperature window requirements.
Lab moves within and out of the South San Francisco biotech corridor. CG Moving is based at 1755 Mission Rd, inside the cluster.
Published case study: over 140 laboratory assets relocated from Europe to Northern California with full inventory accountability at origin and destination.
Parent commercial silo for office, warehouse, data center, and corporate relocation services.
Every lab move starts with a facility scope survey. CG Moving confirms instrument dependencies, cold chain, and QA sign-off requirements before any estimate is issued.
CG Moving Company uses a five-phase approach for all biotech and lab relocations. The phases are the same whether the project is a single lab suite or a multi-building pharmaceutical campus consolidation.
1
A surveyor walks the lab with the facilities manager and QA representative before any estimate.
The pre-move survey documents all instrument types, validates cold chain volume and transport window requirements, confirms regulated material handling needs with the client EHS team, identifies OEM service dependencies, and confirms building access, COI, and elevator requirements at origin and destination.
2
The move is segmented by asset type: validated instruments, cold chain, regulated materials, and office.
GMP and validated equipment is coordinated with QA and OEM service contractors and scheduled separately from standard benchtop equipment and office contents. Cold chain assets are moved within the confirmed temperature window. Regulated materials are handled per the client EHS team's documented protocols. The phasing plan is agreed in writing before any estimate is confirmed.
3
CG Moving coordinates around OEM decommissioning and QA sign-off. The mover does not substitute for either.
Instruments requiring OEM involvement for safe disassembly or recalibration are scheduled around the OEM service date. QA sign-off on pre-move validation status is confirmed before the instrument moves. CG Moving Company handles the physical transport; OEM contractors handle instrument-specific requirements. Both must complete before restart.
4
Crews execute against the phasing plan. Every item is documented at pickup and confirmed at delivery.
Cold chain equipment is powered down and transported in the confirmed window. Instruments travel in appropriate protective packaging with documented chain of custody. Each item is checked against the asset inventory at origin pickup and destination placement. No item is signed off until it is confirmed at the destination address.
5
A delivery confirmation documents every item from origin to destination before the project closes.
A physical delivery confirmation documents every item that left the origin against every item placed at the destination. The document is signed by the client facilities contact at closeout. The confirmation document supports post-move IQ/OQ/PQ requalification documentation by providing the physical custody record.
Lab move costs depend on instrument count, cold chain volume, OEM coordination, and phasing requirements.
Biotech and lab relocation costs are more complex than standard commercial moves because the scope is determined by the instruments, not just the floor area. Common cost factors:
Total instrument count and the proportion of validated or calibrated instruments requiring OEM involvement.
Cold chain volume and transport window requirements: the shorter the window, the more tightly the schedule must be managed.
Regulated materials volume and documentation scope (coordinated with client EHS, not a separate cost item for CG Moving Company).
Number of project phases: GMP, standard lab, cold chain, and office contents are typically phased separately.
COI requirements at origin and destination, including any additional insured wording required by building management or landlord.
Whether the project is a single-site move or involves multiple buildings or locations requiring simultaneous coordination.
CG Moving Company provides a written estimate after the pre-move survey. The estimate states the phasing sequence, crew composition, transport equipment, and any OEM coordination timeline. No biotech or lab move date is confirmed until the estimate is agreed.

Common questions about CG Moving lab relocation services, instrument handling, cold chain, and credentials answered below.
CG Moving Company moves research and development laboratories, analytical labs, quality control labs, GMP manufacturing facilities, cold chain labs, pharmaceutical labs, biotech startup facilities, CRO labs, and university research labs. The scope ranges from single-lab suites to multi-building pharmaceutical campus relocations. Any lab environment that has instruments, cold chain assets, or regulated materials has been moved by CG Moving Company in the Bay Area.
Calibrated and validated instruments that require OEM decommissioning before transport are scheduled around the OEM service date. CG Moving Company handles the physical transport within the window confirmed by the OEM. Instruments requiring IQ/OQ/PQ requalification after placement are documented with a chain-of-custody record that supports the requalification process. CG Moving does not perform OEM service or requalification; it coordinates the physical move around those requirements.
Yes. Ultra-low freezers, cryogenic dewars, liquid nitrogen storage systems, and refrigerated incubators are moved as part of the lab relocation scope. The move plan for cold chain assets is built around the confirmed temperature tolerance window for the specific samples or reagents being stored. Cold chain equipment is powered down and transported within the confirmed window and powered up at the destination within that same window.
Regulated materials (chemical, biological, radiological) are handled in coordination with the client EHS team. CG Moving Company does not transport regulated materials independently. The client EHS team documents the materials per applicable regulations (DOT, IATA, NRC, as applicable), and the physical transport is coordinated around the EHS team’s handling and documentation protocols. CG Moving Company handles all non-regulated assets while EHS handles the regulated portion.
CG Moving Company holds CAGE 4PAJ1 (federal contractor identifier used for biotech and DoD work), GSA Schedule GS-33F-0063X (federal agency lab move procurement), and California Life Sciences Association membership. The company also holds CPUC MTR 0190922 (California intrastate authority), USDOT 3907428 / MC 1441357 (federal authority), SF vendor no. 96965, and CA small business cert. no. 1745559.
Yes. CG Moving Company issues a Certificate of Insurance within one business day for any Bay Area laboratory building that requires one. Life sciences building management in South San Francisco, Mission Bay, and the East Bay typically requires COI naming building management as an additional insured. Send the building’s exact COI wording requirements and the COI is issued within one business day.
Yes. CG Moving Company has a published case study of an inbound international laboratory relocation: over 140 laboratory assets moved from Europe to Northern California with full inventory accountability at both origin and destination. International lab moves are handled through the IAM agent network. See /moving-resources/case-studies/ for the full case study.
A biotech lab move requires instrument decommissioning coordination, cold chain transport planning within a defined temperature window, regulated material handling coordination with the client EHS team, item-level asset inventory reconciliation, and a restart sequence that ends when instruments are back in service, not when the truck is unloaded. Standard commercial moves involve none of these constraints. CG Moving Company uses a separate planning and execution process for lab moves that is built around scientific continuity, not moving efficiency.
