Relocation Services

Precision shutdowns. Expert setups. Full compliance.

NuCore offers specialized services for labs, pharma, and healthcare facilities to manage complete decommissioning and recommissioning of equipment and controlled environments. From safe shutdowns to post-move verification, we provide the technical expertise, regulatory knowledge, and hands-on work to get your facility

In today’s fast-moving research, pharmaceutical, and healthcare environments, facilities need the agility to expand, consolidate, or relocate without risk. Every transition brings critical responsibilities: safeguarding sensitive equipment, properly managing hazardous materials, and meeting regulatory requirements for facility closure and restart.

Federal and state regulations place clear obligations on organizations during decommissioning. Without a documented process, facilities risk legal liability and operational delays. Nucore provides structured decommissioning plans and compliance documentation to help clients meet requirements under OSHA, EPA, and state/local authorities — ensuring your facility transitions safely and with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of laboratory and pharmaceutical materials do you relocate?

We handle a wide range of sensitive materials including biological samples, lab chemicals, regulated substances, controlled drugs, high-value scientific equipment, and live research animals. Every relocation is performed under strict compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.

How do you ensure compliance with regulations during relocation?

Our team follows all relevant guidelines, including OSHA, DOT, EPA, DEA, IATA, and USDA standards. We also work directly with your compliance and safety officers to ensure all permits, documentation, and chain-of-custody requirements are met

Can you move hazardous chemicals and regulated substances?

Yes. We are trained to transport hazardous and controlled substances safely. Chemicals are segregated, packed in certified containers, and moved under strict handling procedures. Controlled substances are transported under DEA compliance with documented chain-of-custody protocols.

How do you handle high-value and sensitive lab equipment?

We use specialized crating, vibration control, and climate-controlled transport when needed. Our relocation specialists manage the disassembly, secure packaging, and reinstallation of sensitive instruments. Calibration and validation can also be arranged after relocation.

Do you provide cold-chain management for biological samples?

Yes. We maintain temperature control for biological materials using validated cold-chain logistics solutions. This ensures that specimens, cultures, or reagents remain stable and compliant throughout the move.

What about the relocation of live research animals?

Animal transport requires special care and compliance. We provide temperature-controlled, ventilated carriers, veterinary oversight when needed, and ensure compliance with IACUC and USDA standards to minimize stress during transport.

Will there be downtime for our lab operations?

We work with your team to minimize downtime through careful planning. Moves can be scheduled in phases, after-hours, or over weekends to ensure business continuity.

Do you provide insurance for equipment and materials during the move?

Yes. We provide full insurance and liability coverage for high-value equipment and sensitive materials. This protects your assets and ensures peace of mind throughout the relocation process.

Do you also provide post-move setup and calibration?

Yes. We don’t just move equipment — we also assist with installation, calibration, and environmental testing to make sure your lab is operational as quickly as possible.

How far in advance should we plan a laboratory relocation?

Every client’s situation is unique, and we design timelines around your needs and schedule. Whether you require a phased approach, after-hours work, or a rapid turnaround, we adapt our planning to fit your priorities. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and convenient as possible — your timeline is our timeline.
