Analytical Instrument Movers
Analytical instrument movers for mass spectrometers, HPLC, GC and NMR — manufacturer-spec shutdown, shock-monitored transport and engineer-ready reinstallation.
Analytical Instrument Movers
Mass spectrometers, NMR systems and chromatography stacks are among the most fragile assets in any building — and among the most expensive to have down.
We move analytical instruments to manufacturer handling specifications, with shock and tilt monitoring throughout and the instrument positioned ready for your service engineer's calibration visit.
What the Job Actually Involves
Manufacturer shutdown and transport requirements captured per instrument before the move.
Vacuum systems, roughing pumps and turbos handled to spec, with blanks and shipping plates fitted.
Shock and tilt indicators fitted to every instrument in transit.
Gas lines, chillers and extraction disconnected and reconnected by qualified trades.
Move scheduled around the engineer so downtime between runs is measured in days, not weeks.
How We Run It
Site survey first, covering access, floor loading, lift and door dimensions, and the exact equipment list.
A written method statement and risk assessment issued before the move date, with named crew and lifting plan where required.
Out-of-hours, weekend or shutdown execution so operations and trading are not interrupted.
Full goods-in-transit and liability cover, with agreed values recorded for anything high value.
Sign-off at destination against the inventory, with photographs and condition notes.
- Questions We Get Asked
Do you move instruments under service contract?
Yes, and we coordinate with the contract engineer — most manufacturers require their engineer to decommission and recommission, and we build the schedule around that.
Can you move an NMR magnet?
Magnet moves are highly specialist and depend on field state. We survey first and bring in the manufacturer where a quench or field-maintained move is required.
